Letter from Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. to Fr. Bonaventure Murphy OFM Cap.

2 pp; Manuscript

Letter from Fr. Albert Bibby, Capuchin Friary, Kilkenny, to Fr. Bonaventure Murphy OFM Cap., referring to arrangements for his departure to the United States. He writes ‘I probably shall remain on here until at least [the] end of this month, possibly longer. All will depend on [the] letter from Provincial’. He also refers to his feelings re his imminent departure. He adds ‘I have now got over 1st effects of announcement. They feel it very much at home. But in this part of [the] world there is a very intense feeling or attitude of "ecclesia" towards all of our friends. This feeling is even more marked here than in Dublin'. He also refers to Br. Bonaventure McCafferty OFM Cap. who, he suggests, is 'under a microscope' following a recent meeting in Cobh.
