Buffard sends McMaster $21.50. $9. of this is to be credited to his subscriptions to the Freeman's Journal, and $12.50 is to be given to the J. Turgis Company when they call. He hopes McMaster and his family are in good health. His occupations and cares have made it difficult to write McMaster in person, let alone see him in person, so the closest he can come is to meet McMaster in the pages of the Freeman's Journal. In case Almighty God does not grant him the life span of Nestor or one of the patriarchs of old, McMaster, the hero-veteran of the press, can act as another Moses warning the people until his hands grow too feeble to hold the pen. The diocese is very pleases with its new Bishop and Buffard dares to predict an era of prosperity there. He asks that the letters V.G. be erased from his address since there is no Vicar General in the diocese and there will be none for some time. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
