Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, regarding the order’s activities in Oregon and Delaware. Father Fenelon reports declining a request from the Archbishop of Portland for priests to work with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). He cites a lack of ‘quasi trained priests’ available in the States but agrees to forward the matter to the Father Provincial for a final decision. He also notes that despite communications sent to the various Houses, there has been no change regarding the wearing of beards. He suggests that the five friars due to return to Ireland this year should be delayed for at least a year to ensure a lasting ‘impression may be made on all who shave’.
