Scope and content: Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, regarding administrative and personnel matters in the United States mission. The letter includes a reference to Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. Father Fenelon writes ‘Fr. Dominic was asked, he says, to preach [Saint] Patrick’s Day sermon in Montana. I thought it was not wise for him to go there, as it is the political centre of Republicanism and I think it would not serve our Missions perhaps or the order. I am bringing Benignus to help us out here for Lent: I am sure he will keep himself alright. He might get disgruntled in Lincoln & if I can get anyone to send to help Adrian for a few weeks I will do so. Fr. C. just arrived, so with the teams in Los Angeles & San Francisco please God our work will be a great success, so very much needed, the first year here’.
