Scope and content
Letter from Richard Smyth, 924 Summit Avenue, New York City, to Fr. James O’Mahony OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, regarding a proposal for the reparation of the bodies of Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. and Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap., the latter from a ‘non-Catholic cemetery in Oregon, USA’. He affirms that ‘it was impossible to make any move before this time, as one or more of the political parties in Ireland would use the occasion to forward their own political interests’.
