Alemany, following the requests of the Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda to direct the Archbishops of the States to give their opinion in regards to the division of the diocese of San Francisco and the establishment of a new See in Sacramento desires the opinion of Purcell on this matter. Alemany fears for the health of the Holy Father. P.S.—Governor Peter H.
