Bowles, W. A., French Lick, Indiana, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1868 April 27

Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Bowles wishes to build a school or charitable institution at French Lick, and to this end he offers a quarter grant of land to any Catholic group that will undertake the work. To McMaster's suggestion that a hospital would be better, Bowles remarks that he disagrees. He feels that in time French Lick will be much visited and that if McMaster can find the proper persons to take over, he will arrange suitable terms. The only reason he insists on terms is to be sure that the work will be done, and he remarks that the terms will be suitably low, and if McMaster can find the people with the will, the moral integrity and the ability to make at least a moderate show in the beginning as concerns money, Bowles will be most happy to cooperate with them. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
