Letter from Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, to Fr. Thomas Dowling OFM Cap. referring to an application for a third man to help with his missions in America. Father Edwin explains that they can do nothing from Ireland until the end of summer. He mentions that Fr. Raphael Quinn is also looking for a third man. He plans to write to a Fr. Joseph Fenelon to see if he can assist with the matter. He reports that Fr. Laurence Dowling has been unwell for the past couple of months but is now recovering and will go to the Isle of Man for a fortnight of rest. Father Edwin also describes an ‘immense amount of work’ in Ireland, noting they have 50 Missions and Retreats scheduled between March 1st and Easter.
