White's article concerning the White Earth Mission, Minnesota has been read by one of McMaster's subscribers, William Byrne of Jacksonville, Florida. Byrne has donated $50. to the mission, and in the absence of the abbot, White answered Byrne, suggesting that he try to form a group to raise $500. to support one priest among the Indians. Byrne answered this letter by sending another $100. and by giving White permission to publish this letter on condition that his name be kept secret. He does not object to McMaster's knowing his name but does not want it published. Byrne has sent White some names of other men whom he thinks would contribute and asks that the Freeman's Journal be sent to each. White has mailed copies to two of the men and submits Byrnes' letter and proposal for McMaster's consideration. Any mention which is made of the project is bound to be a favor to the Mission. The Abbot and prior arrived back that morning bringing the news of their visits to McMaster while in New York. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
