Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1882 April 27

Identifier: CJSH II-2-o

Scope and Contents

Hudson's relic of St. Francis de Sales has reached him and will be preserved with holy care. Years ago Shea found that an Abenaki missionary, dedicating his chapel to St. Francis, sent a letter and a wampum belt as an offering of his Indian flock to the tomb of the saint of Annecy. Shea wrote and received word that the American offering was still preserved and they sent Shea a copy of Father Bigot's letter. Shea wishes to propagate devotion to the Venerable Anthony Margil of Jesus, founder of the Texas missions, apostle of Guatemala, founder of a missionary college. His cause for canonization was very far advanced. This year, if Shea has time, he intends to get out a life of this servant of God. Shea is suffering from a racking cough, and he feels that his days may perhaps be numbered. :: II-2-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
