Letter from Fr. Matthew O’Connor

2 pp; manuscript

Letter from Fr. Matthew O’Connor OFM Cap., St. Thomas Rectory, New York City, to Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, reporting that ‘Our Mission here has been very successful’, with ‘splendid & most edifying’ attendance throughout. Father Matthew mentions the intensity of the work, noting that ‘the Confessional is not as tiring as in Erie’ and that they are able to get out for ‘a run out every day’. He believes that once the current missions are finished, ‘3 [priests] would suffice for the work’.
