Scope and Contents
McMaster's letter of the 18th arrived during the busy time thus was not answered sooner. The entire Community is grateful for McMaster's kindness to them, especially those who were Mother Theodore's daughters in Christ when McMaster was first attracted to St. Mary's years ago. The Sisters of Providence hold the editor and the Freeman's Journal in high esteem. When Sister Mary Joseph was on her death bed she humbly wished that her sister in France would not see a glowing obituary concerning her in the Second Edition of "Le Femme Apotre", and hoped that the truthful McMaster would compose her death notice instead. This tribute to Sister M. Joseph and other favors to the Community, have not one unnoticed by the Sisters.

When the opportunity arises she will show McMaster's letter to their mutual friends, consignor Julian Benoit, and Mr. Doherty of Louisville, Kentucky. On July 25, when most of the Sisters will be at the Convent, the Mass and about 400 Communions will be offered for McMaster's intentions. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
