Mission Helpers, Requesting a Letter of Recommendation from the Bishop of Trenton, 1913

Included here are six letters sent between the Mission Helpers and the office of Bishop James McFaul of Trenton in 1913. In these letters the nuns are requesting a letter of recommendation from the bishop for them to include in their application to Rome. They needed to obtain such letters from several bishops, and this one correspondence reveals how slow this process could become.
