Purcell, Archbishop John Baptist, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Father Peter Hennaert, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 August 4
Scope and Contents
Hennaert treated Father Vincent? de Vilas as he deserved. Purcell felt his impropriety in leaving a diocese which opened its arms to receive him and gave him a very good position. Purcell was surprised when he heard that Father Isidore Anthony Lebel and de Vilas were in treaty about Kalamazoo. Purcell will say nothing to prevent de Vilas' acceptance by Hennaert. He answered Lebel's letter of July 29, to tell him that Hennaert rendered him a real service... by rejecting the proposal of de Vilas. Purcell had a letter yesterday from Rome asking a report on Trade Unions. Does Hennaert have anything special to communicate on the subject; Rome wishes the report to embrace the whole Province. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
