Burnett, Peter H., San Jose, California, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 June 22

Burnett remembers Bishop James J. Wood but did not know he had been made a bishop. He has not seen any papers of the English press. He rewrites 12 questions concerning Peter's superiority over the remaining apostles and his power to bind and loose, because Burnett fears he did not state the points clearly in his last letter to Purcell. Burnett hopes Purcell will answer these questions so that he may be able to answer them, should they be asked him. He sends his regards to Mr. and Mrs. Springer and Sister Loyola. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
