O'Connor, S.J. Michael Bishop, New York, New York, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1862 November 25

It would afford him great pleasure to accept Purcell's invitation but it is impossible. He is on his way to Boston where he will while away his time imagining that he will teach something in the Scholasticate. His health is about the same as when he left Pittsburgh. Sometimes an unusual symptom makes him feel a little alarm. He is sorry he missed seeing Purcell at Marseilles. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
