Scope and content
Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan OFM Cap., Bend, Oregon, to Fr. Thomas Dowling OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, acknowledging a ‘very welcome St. Patrick’s gift’ (money) and mentions that another £100 would help ‘straighten us out fairly well for the time being’. He mentions a ‘St. Patrick’s ball’ organized by the local ladies’ altar society, which is expected to raise at least $50. Father Luke discusses the Archbishop’s interest in a ‘city parish’ and the ‘Harrisburg question’.
