Scope and Contents

She was ready to wrap up the enclosed photographs for McMaster and Maurice Francis Egan when the express package arrived. She has seldom in her life received such a package, and when she opened it and saw the $100.00 in banknotes she did not know what to say. They have sold so many other copies for her, that the courage it gives her by helping her to throw off her debts is untold. She must leave it to God to reward her benefactors. She will not fail to remember what McMaster says of "Carmel"; God must have blessed him in the vocation of his daughters. They agree about the word "worship", she has only avoided using it because too few people know its good old English meaning, but she was content when she found the correction was made by McMaster himself. She asks to be remembered to the Sisters at Carmel. Christmas greetings to McMaster and Egan. To this is added a note dated ? :She has received a telegram from Dr. William T. Rowsey, an old Freeman's Journal reader, asking her to forward 20 sets of "Pilgrims and Shrines". She has them already boxed and ready for tomorrow's express, for the telegram met her on coming in with her nephew from a housewarming, and without five minutes delay he found a box which contained a bust of Bishop Foly, and is now hammering up the box. She has come across an old notice of her classes; McMaster is like an old friend to her. Not another journalist could have done what McMaster did for her—he would have found much pleasure in Dr. Rowsey's letter to her. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
