Scope and content
Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan OFM Cap., Bend, Oregon, expressing immense relief at the arrival of £1,500 from Ireland. He notes that the money was ‘anxiously expected and needless to say very tenderly received’. Father Luke also provides a personal update on Fr. Malachy Hynes who ‘is still sighing for home’. Malachy apparently fears that ‘matters religious and political’ in Ireland will reach a crisis while he is away.
