Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, CinCinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1868 October 7
Scope and Contents
He entreats Lefevere to be in Cincinnati Oct. 13 to consult and decide with the bishops of the Province on the names to be presented to the Holy See for the selection of a bishop of Covington. Also to urge the appointment of a successor to Bishop Frederic Baraga of Marquette . Unless they meet, these important matters cannot be arranged, and Rome requires speedy action on their part, especially for Covington. There are explanations to be made in reference to prominent candidates, or probable nominees which it would not be prudent to commit to writing. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
