Dormer, James H, Buffalo, New York, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 May 12

Since his health has not sufficiently improved, Dormer will not be able to come to the proposed conference in Chicago. He praises Onahan for his unselfish services, and as a much needed example for Catholic laymen. He is glad to see the laymen work with a matchless hierarchy to forge ahead in the higher duties which religion and true citizenship impose. He asks to be remembered to Archbishop Ireland. All happiness to Mrs. Onahan. "The girls have written to Mother urging her to visit us from Detroit." :: IX-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
