O'Connor, Sister Constantine, Ellen, Himmelgarden, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 June 24

Sister Constantine thanks Purcell for his kindness. She would have written long ago, but she only arrived at her destination a few weeks ago. She will always look upon Purcell as her father and benefactor. She is very happy there. Through Purcell's help she surmounted all obstacles opposing her vocation. The school is opened and there are 10 pupils. They expect some more but of another creed. She is not reluctant toward them and she sleeps, eats and prays with them. She asks his prayers for them. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
