Purcell sends a letter no enclosure from Rome. A letter from Rome of November 14 intimated that the vacancy of the See of Baltimore may be prolonged owing to the difficulty of corresponding with the southern bishops. Bishop Martin John Spalding's name is most frequently spoken of in connection with the quasi-primatial See. Bishop John McCloskey was to have been home for yesterday's festival, and Bishop John Bernard Fitzpatrick to follow in two months, if able. When Lefevere has his questions for the next synod, he is to send them to Purcell. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
