Letter from Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap., Definitor General, to Fr. Kevin Moynihan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister. Father Sylvester notes that the Father Provincial of the Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) Province refused to reconsider his opposition to an Irish foundation in Baltimore. The Capuchin Father General has therefore advised that the Irish friars should withdraw from Baltimore as soon as ‘prudently’ possible. He emphasizes that the withdrawal should be handled with ‘charity’ to preserve good relations with their religious brethren, acting ‘as if nothing had happened’.
