Gilmour, Bishop Richard, Cleveland, Ohio, to Richard Henry Clarke, New York, New York, 1884 December 24

 Item
Identifier: CRCL I-2-n

Scope and Contents

Enclosed was Father P.F. Quigley's and Bishop Louis Joseph De Goesbriand 's testimony as to the willingness of the Holy See to give Bishop Louis Amadeus Rappe another see or other honors after he had resigned the see of Cleveland. Gilmour sees no reason to expose the name of these two men in using the papers. In the testimony no particular see was mentioned only the willingness to give a see. Gilmour thinks the evidence is positive and no more need be said. He wants the documents returned after they are used carefully to prevent any ill feeling among the living over that sad and painful epoch in the history of the diocese. He is quite willing to come and confer with Clarke on the matter. A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. Enclosure:
