Copy letter from Fr. James O’Mahony OFM Cap., to Fr. Agatangelo da Langasco OFM Cap., Procurator General, detailing financial matters, property debts, and canonical ownership disputes involving various Capuchin properties across the United States. He acknowledges a previous request made on 12 August 1949, seeking permission to secure a $40,000 loan. The loan’s purpose is to restore the Friary at Santa Inés, California, to serve as a house of studies. It references a promise by the Archbishop of Los Angeles to cover the remaining restoration expenses.
Fr. O’Mahony provides the following information re the American Custody debt profile:
• Wilmington, Delaware: Monastery debt stands at $7,000.
• Flintridge Seminary and High School (California): Debt stands at $10,000.
• St. Benedict’s, Mckenzie Bridge (Oregon): Explicitly listed as having no debt.
