8/1/24 St. Anthony's Mission MENDOCINO, CALIF. Christmas, 1924. Very Reverend F. P. Eter. Dear Father, I received a letter today from F. Stawislaus, wondering why I did not acknowledge the $80.00 you sent to me from Albottstown. I received the money safely and acknowledged it nearly six weeks ago, but evidently the letter must have gone astray. You gave me an altogether $200.00 which I hopely 25 Dec 1924 acknowledge. The Boddage project is going on very well, thanks God. I have a few papers now, and have received already, six more applications for the term beginning on the New Year. The fathers, F. Indore & F. Damen like the place and the work, and everything so far seems to point to success. It is thing you & all at home every Christmas happiness. Sincerely & friendlyly my Christ & St. Francis. F. Lee.
