Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

He invites Lefevere to the consecration at Cincinnati of Bishop John Projectus Macheboeuf August 16; the Bishops of Cleveland Amadeus Rappe and of Vermont Louis de Goesbriand will be the assisting prelates. They must meet together about the appointment of Bishop Frederic Baraga's successor, still undecided in Rome, though from a letter of Cardinal Alexander Barnabo he is not asking them the impossible. Also they want to take some action about blessing graves in non-Catholic cemeteries when they have Catholic cemeteries. Lefevere has paid $50 of the $300 levied for expenses of Father James A. Corcoran in Rome as canonist and theologian to prepare for the Ecumenical Council. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
