Lüers, John H., Bishop of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 January 18

He knows nothing of the antecedents of Father C _____ about whom Purcell inquires; but he has never heard anything really good of him. Professor Caspar Beleke at Notre Dame can give all the desired information. As to his life and conduct Bishop James Duggan or Father Arnold Damen, S.J. can inform Purcell. Father C.F. Smarius has commenced a mission in Fort Wayne. The English of Bishop Henry D. Juncker's last pastoral letter is most wretched. ` P.S. Father C has relatives in Lafayette so Lüers prefers that Purcell does not mention his name. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
