He copies part of the pastoral of Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes of Alton in which the Bishop is condemning the use of books, prayer books, and newspapers published without the authorization of the Bishop of the place, specifically mentions the Journal of McMaster, the Irish World of Patrick Ford and the Western Watchman of Father Donald S.
