Josephine, Sister, Namur, Belgium, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 December 10

Sister is sorry she left Cincinnati without having seen Purcell but unforeseen circumstances forced her to leave early. She thanks Purcell and the SistersOf Notre Dame de Namur for the prayers offered for her safe return home, as it took only 10 days to cross the Atlantic. She and her two companions were cordially greeted in Liverpool England by some Sisters. They went on to London and remained there two days, after which they went to Antwerp and from there to the Mother House at Namur where a retreat was assembled. At the Mother House she met Sister Louise de Gonzague, former Superioress of Cincinnati, who sends her regards to Purcell. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
