Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, discussing the activities of Capuchin friars in California and in Oregon and their interactions with local church leadership. He also refers to the recent visit of the Minister General to the American mission houses. He writes ‘From Ukiah we came to Los Angeles where he stayed the night and next day we proceeded to Roseburg thence to Bend where Fr. Casimir and Vincent came to meet the General. He did not go to Lincoln or Abbottstown, but the Fathers met him on the way. I had to part with him at Bend as I was due for a Retreat here which started at Cathedral Chapel last night. The Father General expressed himself in very happy terms about the condition of our American Houses, but I am sure you will get a detailed account from him later on. He was very amiable and nice in every way, and by my fluency in the Latin tongue helped by the Secretary who speaks English pretty well. I spent a pleasant yet strenuous two weeks with him’. Reference is also made to the possibility of the Capuchins acquiring Santa Inés mission.
