Kuhls, in answering McMaster's letter of the 15th, wishes that the Freeman's Journal had about 500,000 subscribers for the year 1883. McMaster is under no obligation to anyone for doing his duty. Having 50 Freeman's Journals in his parish is like delivering 50 sermons. Each family which reads the Journal is truly Catholic, and is willing to cooperate with the pastor in any undertaking. To pay $50. for good books and papers is a profitable expenditure. The principles of the Journal will flourish long after those of the Irish world are dwelling with sulphuric companions. He wishes McMaster a happy Christmas and New Year and asks to be remembered to Mr. Hogherty. His letter is from St. Mary's church. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
