Letter from Fr. Antonine Wilmer OFM Cap., Procurator General, to Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, mentioning a confidential matter regarding the Irish friars’ plan to preach in New York. He notes that the English Capuchins previously caused ‘ill feeling’ by conducting missions there without visiting local monasteries. He advises the Irish Provincial to ensure the New York Province is properly notified to ensure a hospitable reception.
