Scope and content

Letter from Fr. Bernard Clery OFM Cap., Sacred Heart Rectory, Lincoln, to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, referring to internal administrative and health concerns regarding the Franciscan Capuchin friars stationed at the parish. He reports on a specialist’s urgent medical assessment of Father Edward Walsh’s severe eye affliction, stressing that he must immediately cease reading, writing, and close work for up to two years to prevent the condition from worsening. The letter discusses administrative options to cover his duties — including a temporary reassignment back to the friary in Abbottstown — while noting that a replacement pastor is expected to arrive from Oregon in January 1923, following delays caused by a serious automobile accident.
