Maher, Sister Mary Theresa, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 August 25

The Sister says that they the Sisters of Mercy feel that they owe Purcell respect, gratitude and esteem, ever since they have come and she regrets that her note could have conveyed anything to the contrary. She humbly begs his forgiveness. She did not realize until now that Purcell did not want them to settle down in the western part of the city. They will think no more of such a location. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 16to.
