Luers, John H., Bishop of, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John, Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 October 13

Father J. N. Thisse of Piqua wrote Luers stating that a small church could be erected at Union, Ohio if the Catholics of Indiana would assist. Luers sent the letter to Father Patrick Fitzmaurice who approves of the church being built on the Ohio side. Luers is willing and now asks Purcell for his view. Luers was in Philadelphia some time ago and was received by Bishop James F. Wood very cordially. Archbishop John Hughes spoke of taking a trip out West next summer. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
