Kelly confined to Sister's Hospital, asks for a copy of the article entitled "Forty Years in the American Wilderness" quotations from which appeared in the Ave Maria. In this article, Brigham Young is quoted as saying that Kelly might have converted him. Kelly promises to send notes concerning his experiences in Salt Lake City between 1865 and 1866, where he was the pioneer missionary among the Mormons. Bishop Eugene O'Connell, the Vicar Apostolic of Marysville, California, called Kelly away from Salt Lake City to return to California. He was succeeded in Utah by Bishop Joseph Machebeuf of Denver, Colorado. Two years later Rome directed Archbishop Joseph Alemany of San Francisco to send a permanent pastor to Salt Lake City. Bishop Lawrence Scanlan was sent and was aided by the Sisters of HolyCross. Kelly asks Hudson to check on a lifelong subscription he had made to the Ave Maria. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
