While imprisoned, he was influenced by the testimony of Orville 'Awful' Gardiner, a converted prizefighter and thief. McAuley began reading the Scriptures and experienced a religious conversion. He was pardoned and released in March 1864. After a brief struggle with his old habits, he fully committed to his faith and, alongside his wife Maria, founded the Water Street Mission in 1872, widely recognised as the first homeless shelter/resuce mission in the United States;

The Reford family letters are primarily based on a series of 13 letters written by members of the Reford family to their relatives in Antrim town, between 1818 and 1873. Most of the 1833-1873 letters were written by James Reford, a manufacturer and small businessman, who emigrated with his wife Ann and their children in 1833 and lived principally in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Per Kerby A. Miller: 'noteworthy is an earlier letter from Montreal by Sampson Brady, describing the effects of the 1832 cholera epidemic; and an 1849 letter from New Jersey by Lewis Reford, James's scapegrace brother. In addition, the [series] contains another 13 letters, dated 1895-1904, by James Reford's US-born son, Joseph Banks Reford, also a businessman in Bloomfield, New Jersey.' The series contains copies of the 1833-1873 letters; summaries of the Joseph Banks Reford letters, and research pertaining to the family.
