Sister Stanislaus writes from the Convent of the Visitation to ask McMaster to publish the enclosed book notice in the Freeman's Journal. Such a publication will go far to make the book a success. Mr. John L. Kapin and Co. are going to help them build their church and are also helping them with the book, which is already in the press. She gives her thanks for the lines of recommendation and hopes that the rates for the advertisement will be reasonable. The printed enclosure marks Dec. 8, 1883 as being the 50th anniversary of the Convent and Academy of the Visitation, the oldest female educational Catholic institution in the Diocese of Mobile, and one of the oldest in the South. In honor of its founder, Bishop Michael Portier, of Mobile, the Visitation Sisters wish to erect a memorial church to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The circular asks public cooperation in the endeavour. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
