Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1867 March 10
Scope and Contents
He repeats what he had written March 4 about their trip to Europe. Cardinal Alexander Barnabo has not yet acknowledged receipt of Lefevere's 10,000 francs, which Purcell sent to him. Has Lefevere read Purcell's Lenten Pastoral? How does Lefevere fare with his application for an Act of Incorporation Sole? As Purcell wrote Bishop Luers, his objection is to the clause always attached to such Acts, that the Legislature "can at any time alter, repeal or annul such charter" - an ill-disposed majority could then, at will, take it from them and send them adrift on an open sea. They are suffering from high water, the second time this season. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
