Montgomery thanks McMaster for the favorable notices he gave Montgomery's book on the school question, "The Poison Fountain." The previous August, McMaster suggested that "The Poison Fountain" should either be re-published on the East coast or forwarded in a considerable number of copies to some New York publisher, because the demand for the book in the East could not be fulfilled. Without expressing any preference, McMaster also submitted the name of O'Shea as a reliable Eastern publisher. Following these suggestions, Montgomery sent O'Shea 250 copies of the book on August 28 and asked him whether he would buy them outright or sell them on a commission basis. Two months passed during which time Montgomery heard no news from O'Shea, and not knowing if the books and the letter had reached him at all, sent a telegram. O'Shea promptly answered the telegram, acknowledged the arrival of the books, and promised to write him soon, but now another three weeks have passed without news. Montgomery has done his part in good faith, and now asks McMaster to see O'Shea personally and inquire on the matter. He greatly enjoys McMaster's crushing articles on liberal Catholicism. These liberals are to the Catholic Church what the Policy Democrats have been to the Democratic party, but without the same results, since the Church can withstand the blight through her Divine origin, but the Democratic party has no such guarantee. He encloses the following: A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
