Kent, Sister Mary Augustine, Wilmington, North Carolina, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1873 May 15

Since she has heard so much about his charity and liberality from her pastor, Father Mark S. Gross, she is encouraged to call on him for a small donation toward the building of the first convent in North Carolina. By doing so he will insure for himself the prayers of the pioneers of religious life in North Carolina. He is asked to send the reply to the Sisters of Mercy in care of Father Gross as there are Protestant sisters there. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
