Henni, John M, Bishop of Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 May 29

Henni would be pleased to attend the laying of the corner stone for the Catholic Institute but he already has made appointments in parts of the Diocese, and to break them would cause a great disappointment and inconvenience to both pastors and people. Henni hopes Purcell will not be offended because he cannot come. He says Purcell had given him hopes when he was in Cincinnati that Purcell and Father Joseph Berneding would visit Milwaukee. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
