Persico, Bishop Ignatius, Savannah, Georgia, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870 October 20
Scope and Contents
He arrived in Savannah on Oct. 15 and was cordially received, giving him great hope for the future. An association was formed to organize a grand reception and they could not have done more. The ceremony of installation was held last Sunday; Bishop Augustin Verot of St. Augustine, Fla. introduced him to the congregation. He encloses a few words to be read out in all the churches of the Diocese of Savannah. He will go to Augusta soon and is afraid that the people there will try to have Father A. J. Ryan returned, and that is impossible to grant. He will do all he can for the people of Augusta, so far as their spiritual wants are concerned. He puts all his trust in God, who brought him to this country and made him a Bishop. He asks to be remembered to Mrs. McMaster and the children. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
