Letter from Fr. Peter Bowe to Fr. Brendan O’Callaghan

2 pp; typescript

Letter from Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, to Fr. Brendan O’Callaghan OFM Cap. Fr. Peter suggesting that English friars only stay in Abbottstown for a few days every six months. Reference is also made to the death of Fr. Nicholas Murphy, who ‘died like St. Francis on the floor (in the Sacristy, just after saying Mass)’. Father Peter describes this sudden passing as a ‘final temporal reward’ for a life of long and faithful service.
