Kenrick, Francis Patrick, Archbishop of, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 March 11

He is averse to the translation of the Bishop Armand de Charbonnell of Toronto or to the promotion of P. or R. Purcell may recall Kenrick's stating in the National Council that a weighty charge had been made against a clergyman proposed by some prelate. He alluded to Father Napoleon J. Perche while in Kentucky. Father F. Gautrelet is personally worthy but Kenrick knows nothing of his qualifications for the post. Kenrick should like to see Bishop John M. Odin or Bishop William Henry Elder made Coadjutor if the Archbishop of New Orleans himself would propose either. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
