Macleod, Father Donald, Mt. St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 January 8

He has held no such self-examination as for the last few days since his ordination. He was prepared for great severity on Purcell's part. He was not prepared for such kindness. He has been fairly out of his mind with brooding. The derangement has cumulated since the fire. Both in the congregation and in the Seminary he will try to do Purcell's will. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
