[James M Mulry]

Dear Saint Vincent's,

Please consider the memory of a great historical philantropist and humanitarian when conducting your required expansion.

My family desires that the legacy of Thomas Maurice Mulry is preserved. Mulry Square is the final preservation of this great man. Every five years, our family returns from all over the world in rememberance of the Catholic legacy.

Destroying the rememberance of Thomas Maurice Mulry affects the honor of the socially reponsible entities he developed including the Immigrants Aid Society, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and the Immigrants Savings Bank. My family requests that some effort is made by Saint Vincent's Hospital to be considerate. We are behind the great work of Saint Vincent's Hospital, but desire to protect the name of Thomas Maurice Mulry.

Perhaps, some kind of compromise could be worked out. I'm certain that representatives from the Mulry family are more than willing to meet with the planning managers of Saint Vincent's to discuss this important issue. After all, Saint Vincent dePaul is also part of the Mulry benevolence.

Sincerely,

James M. Mulry
