Lüers, John H., Bishop of Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864

He thinks he will go to Europe, but shall call to see Purcell before he starts. He sees that Father Theodore Noethen is publishing his Ecclesiastical Year with a long array of Episcopal approbations. He does not think they should put their names to works until after they have been published and thoroughly examined. Noethen is not capable of doing a work into correct English and his translation will neither be grammatically correct nor express the mind or sense of the author. The publisher is a Jew. He understands that Bishop Maurice de St. Palais of Vincennes has been ill but is recovering. Is there really a good foundation for Bishop Martin J. Spalding going to Baltimore and Bishop John McCloskey to New York? :: II-5-b A.L.S. Incomplete 2pp. 12mo.
