The Fathers consider the erection and proper endowment of episcopal colleges "a holy and pious work". Hence appointed collectors will call to solict assistance to support seminaries, establish and support missions and provide for the wants of local congregation members.

The cards are sent only as specimens which may easily be multiplied by parties as they want them. The Bishop is worried about the [theology?] whether it will answer remains to be seen. All depends on the Clergy." [unsigned]
