Tyrone, to Foster, supporting his philanthropic work and recommending him to all catholic clergymen and other individuals in America and Canada for assistance in his work. 1856 New York - August 27. ---------- Archbishop Hughes ---------- introduction of V.F. [Vere Foster ?] New York Aug. 27th 1856. Mr Vere Foster, the bearer of this has been introduced to me under auspices highly honourable to himself and to the cause to which he is engaged. That cause is philanthropic and has a reference to the emigration of poor persons from Europe, or, I might better say, from Ireland to this country. As he desires to consult Catholic clergymen and others in the United States & Canada on this subject, I beg leave to recommend him to the kind attention of such Catholic clergymen as he may have occasion to call on. + John Hughes Abp [Archbishop ?] of N. York |
