Keiley, John D., New York, New York, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 June 1

Keiley has received Onahan's letter and enclosure. He wishes the Catholic Congress abundant success. He had Cardinal Gibbons and his attendants as guests in transit, during his recent trip to New Orleans and back to Baltimore. The Cardinal is greatly interested in the matter of the Congress. He feels that he probably would be of little service had he time to come, but states that since he was not invited by the committee, he will not intrude but thanks Onahan for his consideration. He sends his family's regards to Onahan's and hopes that they will make their home with him, on the occasion of the Onahans next visit. A notation on the back page by Onahan. He telegraphed Mayor Keiley on receipt of this letter. Keiley was invited in the name of the committee and it is hoped that he would still attend the Detroit Meeting. :: IX-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
