TAGS
Matriarch mostly prepared oats for American airline location? (8)
The answer is Sarasota.
The matriarch is Sarah from which we remove the last letter (mostly) and add oats, anagrammed (prepared)
AIRLINE + LOCATION = ?
Substituting in SARASOTA for the answer in this alphametic, we arrive at the solution
R=0, T=1, N=2, E=3, I=4, A=5, C=6, L=7, S=8, O=9

Substituting the letters for the digits found in the alphametic, this line reads
AT LAST, CLIENT NOTES SAINT'S TITLES (four)
The answer, as discovered by Stiv, is TAGS - with T coming from the last letter of CLIENT, AG being NOTES, SAINT cluing S and "TITLES" being the definition.
Previous answer: TEST, with the T and E coming from the last letters of CLIENT NOTE and SAINT'S TITLES cluing ST.
