Letter from Fr. Thomas Dowling OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minster, reporting on his continuing preaching activities in Oregon. He writes ‘… I went out to the Indian missions and was much impressed by what I saw there. I preached to the Indians having of course to have my sermon interpreted for them by one of the tribe who understood English’.
