Jennings, R.S.C.J. Madame S., Albany, New York, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 April 8

She has the piece called the "Martyr", the one Purcell refers to in his letter and she will send it along with some others. Their Bishop is much better but a little lame yet; he will give the veil to one sister tomorrow. It would be a great consolation to her to have a long conversation with Purcell. Miss Leopold writes that Purcell is going to make the dedication of the church at Hamilton next Sunday. Miss Leopold writes also that she is going to make a retreat at the convent where she was educated. It is consoling to see the fruits of their labors. Madame Thompson has replaced Madame Bowles as Superior of the house of the Mesdames of the Sacred Heart in New York. Madame Jennings has a young aspirant with her, Miss Louise Furt, one of Father Hitzelberger's converts. She asks Purcell to remember their community. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
