Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan OFM Cap., Bend, Oregon, referring to a financial dispute regarding the debt of a local Catholic hospital in Oregon. Father Luke notes that the Archbishop (Alexander Christie of Oregon City) agrees that the debt belongs to the hospital. However, he is refusing to sign the final ‘statement of debts’ until he meets with the Reverend Mother (the head of the nursing sisters), who was in New York at the time.
