Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan

2 pp; manuscript

Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan OFM Cap., Bishop’s Residence, Baker City, to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, reporting on his experiences in Oregon. He writes ‘At present I am looking after a portion of what is intended to be our future mission. It's not very pleasant for the moment as there is no church or home — I stay in the hotel by room — small & by no means the place where you can retire & [have] a little quiet. The smoke room is the only place where we can venture — just a public hall where all the speculators assemble. There is very little of the hospitality of the old country’.
