Lechleitner believes he owes McMaster an apology concerning the Freeman's Journal and about the actions of Mr. Patrick Woods of Belvedere, Nebraska Lechleitner and Father Glauber of Hastings, Nebraska met Woods who was lending some copies of the Freeman's Journal. Lechleitner told him he should no longer read the paper of a man who had been excommunicated by Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes, of Alton, Illinois, and intended the whole thing as a joke which Woods apparently took in earnest. Lechleitner has written to Woods to correct the impression conveyed by his joke and to convince McMaster, he sends $1. as partial subscription for the paper. He highly respects the Journal and calls it the most able paper in the U.S., either religious or profane. He subscribed 10 years ago but because of his large missions and his absence in Europe, he was unable to continue it. McMaster personally makes a notation at the bottom saying that the Vicar Apostolic of Nebraska, James O'Connor, has been written to because the conscience of Woods was bothered. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
