Moran, Patrick Francis Cardinal Archbishop of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 October 19

Due to present steamer arrangements, Cardinal Moran is unable to accept Onahan's invitation to be present at the Catholic Congress at Baltimore on Nov. 11th. He fears that he would not be able to reach Chicago until after the Congress is over. The Australian Church is greatly interested in the giant strides of the Church in the United States. He wishes the Congress success and adds that some day he would like to visit the United States. He has many friends among the clergy. :: IX-1-a 2 Typewritten Copies 2pp. 4to.
