Henni, John M., Bishop of Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1861 April 19

Father Henry Tappert had been in Wisconsin for several years, at first with some success. He has some excellent traits but his morose temperament made him almost entirely unfit to head a congregation. Henni could not trust him with a mission. Tappert sought the Trappists but left months ago. Patrick Goff has asked for permission to enter Henni's seminary; he seems to state candidly the trouble for which he was dismissed from Purcell's seminary. Henni would not receive him until he heard more about his studies and character. Henni asks Purcell's advice. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
