1 p.; typescript

Letter from Sister Dula Hogan, Sisters of Charity Mother House, Nazareth, Nelson County, Kentucky, to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister. The correspondence explains that Mother Rose Meagher and two sisters are currently traveling to Oregon to personally evaluate the conditions before deciding whether to establish a new mission in the American West. The letter expresses gratitude for Father Peter’s encouragement, notes that a lack of members makes expanding into new fields difficult and welcomes his assistance in recruiting new postulants from Ireland, highlighting that Mother Rose herself was a devoted ‘daughter of Erin’ who emigrated in her youth.
