Felicitas, Sister of the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1862 December 12

Sister Felicitas tells Purcell that Father Anthony Cauvin, who is pastor of Hoboken, New Jersey in the diocese of Newark, proposed the filial house of the congregation in the town of Hoboken. The Sisters are to devote themselves to the service of the poor and sick. Four Sisters were requested. Sister Felicitas asks Purcell's permission to send the four Sisters. Enclosed is the note of approval from Bishop James R. Bayley of Newark. The Motherhouse of Aix-la-Chapelle gives its consent and promises to send the requisite number of sisters who are to be exchanged here for some time with a knowledge of English. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
