Letter from John Fitzgibbon to Fr Provincial Thomas V. Nolan, circa 1918
enclosed is that
letter to plead
in I am happy
Gods holy work is
done. He was
my joy and pride
and the thought
that when he
Cheerfully gone
to God he would
have made more
use of him on
this earth, Jack 2 was always full
of energy and
I have not the
slightest doubt
he is now a
busier Man than
ever, we naturally
feel the parting
but are consoled
in the thought of
Larry Shaw an
advocate to secure
for us a speedy
passage to the
Heavenly kingdom.
He loved the order
and I hope I am
not being too presumptuous
in saying that
it's members mourn
his loss and I feel
deeply for them.
With grateful thanks
for your touching
letter I remain
Yours Faithfully John Fitzgibbon
