E(lder), M(ary) T(heresa): New Orleans, Louisiana to W(illia)m J. Onahan: (Chicago, Illinois), 1893 September 18

Onahan is asked not to let on that "Elder" is a woman. She is quite elated over the fuss created by her paper. She welcomes adverse criticism, such as of the St. Paul paper, for she is ready to answer. She is supported by Archbishop (Francis) Janssens and Mr. (Warren E.) Mosher, but none of the reports included their names. She does not know to whom she should reply. P.S. What is Alfred Murphy's address. She is amused at being addressed as Mr. Esq. and Rev.
