Scope and content
Letter from Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap., Definitor General, to Fr. Kevin Moynihan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, referring to the unyielding position taken by the Capuchin superior in Pennsylvania. Fr. Sylvester states that he has written to Fr. Brendan O’Callaghan OFM Cap. suggesting that he ‘should be far better off in Delaware, even though the place be poor, for he could have a canonical foundation and a regular house …’. He also suggests that ‘it is easier to close the house in Baltimore now, than it will be some month’s hence’.
