Juncker, Henry D., Bishop of Alton, Alton, Illinois, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1861 January 16

Father T. Lavalle recommended Holloran? to him as a man who had been professor in the house for a year. Juncker has already spent too much money on him. He cannot take individuals who are unfit even though he needs English priests. Juncker often thought that Purcell spoiled Father William J. Barry by putting him at once in high and fat positions. This kind of delicate and puffed up gentlemen ought to be sent first to the missions to form a congregation. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
