Murray, John O'Kane, Brooklyn, New York, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1876 February 26

Murray is anxious to obtain information on the famous missionary, V. Rev. Father Damian, S. J. He has talked with him, but Damian declined to furnish details about himself, rather referred Murray to several articles written by Onahan. Since Murray's work goes to press soon, an early reply is requested. P. S. Murray also would like to know the dates of the foundation of the first church in Chicago, and Milwaukee. He has also sent a note of inquiry to Rev. Father Verdin, S.J. of St. Ignatius College, Chicago. :: IX-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
