Letter from Terence Vincent Powderly to Thomas Fitchie

Letter from Terence Vincent Powderly to Thomas Fitchie

Commissioner General Powderly disapproves of Commissioner Fitchie’s recommendation to build a chapel for immigrants on Ellis Island. He believes there is not enough space to construct a chapel large enough to accommodate all of the religions practiced by the immigrants. The Bureau of Immigration also lacks the funds for construction.
