Bishop Elder acknowledges $28. he has received from McMaster. The people of the South, especially the Catholics, should never forget the great charity that has been shown them by this and other remittances. That amount passing through Elder's hands alone has been sufficient to alleviate suffering in many parts of Mississippi where the fever has reached. This money has also aided in other parts where desolation has indirectly resulted from the interruption of business by the fever or because of the death of relatives. Daily prayers after Mass have been prescribed in order to make the Southern Catholics show gratitude for this aid. McMaster has shown particular concern for those under the care of Elder and the entire diocese is grateful for the multitude of acts of mercy from fellow citizens in every quarter. James A. Mcmaster has noted on the letter, that this $28. is merely the remainder of many hundreds of dollars previously forwarded. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
