Scope and Contents

Robot is ashamed of his long delay in answering McMaster. Mr. McSorley, customs agent, wrote him that McMaster paid his debt of 58 cents for boxes sent him from Europe, but he received these boxes only 2 weeks ago because of the remoteness of his mission. Miss M.T. Harper of Brooklyn informed him that she was sending him a box containing her annual offering through McMaster's office, and so Robot has delayed his answer so that he may acknowledge the receipt of the box and of McMaster's letter at the same time. Despite many obstacles, the Colony of Benedictine Sisters of the Perpetual Adoration have landed on this side of the Canadian border. These Sisters maintain their adoration night and day and still discharge their duties with the Indians. Robot is deeply grateful to the readers of the Freeman's Journal and to McMaster for soliciting their prayers and donations, but he still requires financial assistance. He strongly hopes the daily Hail Marys will continue. He has heard nothing from the Catholic Indian Bureau :: I-2-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
