Colonel presents McMaster with some copies of his Sunday-School Manual. The Father Rector has granted him permission to present them and should McMaster care to make any mention of the books, after his careful perusal, Colonel will greatly appreciate it. Such a mention may help defray the cost of the book, which has been very carefully printed by Mr. Hewitt, of 27 Rose St., New York. The prices asked will be five to seven cents for the small one, and twelve to fifteen cents for the large copy. The matter contained is simple and new, the prayers are nearly all indulgenced, and the hymns are selected from foreign sources, such as Father Turniss' Hymns and some of Father Burke's compositions. McMaster should not mention these items unless he cares to since the people should best see and judge the book for themselves, after having it brought to their attention by a brief notice. The book may help to simplify and bring the doctrines of the Holy Church to both young and old, since it has been carefully tested already by submitting it to able men and to teachers who have read it aloud to the children in the language of the children. P.S. Colonel does not wish this letter published for it has been written only for McMaster. By the following Monday he may receive testimonials from Archbishop James F. Wood, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and from Bishop M. A. Corrigan of New York. If he receives these he will send McMaster a copy of them. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
