Juncker, Henry D., Bishop of Alton, Alton, Illinois, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 November 17

Juncker will visit Purcell on the consecration of Father Quinlan. Since Bishop William X. Elder will be present at the ceremony, Juncker believes it a good time to arrange with Purcell the affairs of the late James Vandervelde concerning the Diocese of Alton. Juncker wrote Elder about the matter from Rome but has not received an answer. The agent of Mrs. Hunt wrote to Juncker some time ago and said there is one lot left which rightfully belongs to him, but that Bishop Elder, when he was in St. Louis, took all the papers with him. Juncker has not bothered with it since he returned from Europe and has left it up to Purcell. Juncker believes that if he may visit Purcell they might settle the matter. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
