12 items; manuscript and typescript

The subseries comprises a collection of the correspondence of Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap. (1875-1950). A significant portion of the letters in this subseries relate to the Irish friars’ efforts to find permanent foundations on the American East Coast. Some of the letters detail the ‘intense territorial disputes’ with the Pittsburgh Capuchin Province, which opposed Irish expansion into Maryland and Pennsylvania.
