Cartin asks that his subscription to the Freeman's Journal be stopped. Living 20 miles from a church, he is only able to attend Mass a few Sundays each year and consequently he has heard nothing concerning the Pastrol of Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes, of Alton, Illinois, except what he has seen in the Journal. Recently he wrote his parish priest telling him of the great good the paper has done for him and his family in a community where the people hate everything Catholic. The Bishop would surely understand his attitude were he himself in such a situation. Receiving no answer to the letter, Cartin took his family to church but had to promise in Confession that he would no longer read the Journal. There are a great many complaints circulating about the Bishop Baltes and it is difficult to judge their accuracy, but certainly there is something wrong somewhere for the Bishop doesn't know or does not care how much good the paper is doing. Cartin hopes McMaster's case will be justified and asks that his subscription be continued if the Bishop lifts his censure. :: I-2-c L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
