Mitchell, Anna M.: Brooklyn, (New York) to Father Joseph H. McMahon: (New York, New York), 1892 June 12

She delayed answering his letter of May 18 in hopes of having a formal interview. She called yesterday and found that he was away. She must decline because of the shortness of time. She is interested and will try to encourage interest among her friends. She welcomes the revival of learning which will help to down the opinion that the Church wants them to remain in ignorance. She has labored for some years to stimulate interest in reading. She does not think the choice of New London a happy idea because teachers like sylvan attractions. She is not sure that she can attend but she will be of assistance in any form she can. :: I-1-j - A.L.S. - 4pp. - 12mo. - {1}
