Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1862 January 19

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

The accompanying letter no enclosure is another instance of the manner in which some of Lefevere's people drag him into their quarrels. Would it not be well to select one or two Irish priests and send them to Jackson Michigan, to examine the charges against Father Cornelius Moutard and when found groundless to convince the people they are wrong? Purcell does not answer them at all. Several of the bishops will meet in Cincinnati February 2 and Lefevere is asked to come. It is the silver jubilee of the German Orphan Society, the golden jubilee of Sister Margaret of the Sisters of Charity and will be an occasion to visit the students in the seminary. Bishops James F. Wood, Josue M. Young, Martin John Spalding, John Henry Luers and George A. Carrell have promised to come. He has no news from their last council from Rome. ` P.S. Father Hugh Quigley has had to quit Cairo, Illinois. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
