Kenrick, Francis Patrick, Archbishop of Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 July 14

Kenrick would like to meet Purcell and the other metropolitans. He has recommended Fathers George McCloskey, Thomas Foley and Sylvester H. Rosecrans and desires the Archbishops to state their judgment to the Cardinal Prefect. The measures adopted at Perugia cannot be relied upon. No government is as humane as that of the Pope and it is a newspaper effort to afford a pretext for robbing him of his dominions. Bishop John Barry proposed appointing a Coadjutor of either Fathers William McCloskey, H. Andrieux or James McGarahan as he needs one badly. It is well to press the Roman authorities. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 1pg. 12mo.
