Scope and content
Letter from Fr. Thomas Dowling OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, discussing the mission’s current state and significant future opportunities in California. Father Thomas states that he is ‘exceedingly happy to be away from all the turmoil in the Old Country’. He notes that ‘the demand for our services is growing’. He also mentions receiving invitations to preach in various parishes and notes that their schedule for the fall is already filling up. He specifically mentions Fr. Basil, who is described as a ‘great favorite’ with both the people and the clergy, and notes that it would be a ‘great loss’ to the mission if he were recalled to Ireland.
