Fitzpatrick, John B., Bishop of Boston, Brussels, Belgium, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 March 7

Fitzpatrick sends his regards to Purcell by a boy, returning to America, named Charlie. He asks Purcell to do what he can so as to make the boy a good Catholic. He encloses a note which was handed to him by Countess de Svunne asking the whereabouts of the nun whose name is mentioned therein, and hopes Purcell can help locate her. Fitzpatrick hopes to return to Boston soon after Easter, although there is no very great change in his health. He sends some photographs and asks Purcell to give one to Bishop Rosecrans, one to his brother, and one to Father Edward Collins. He is sorry he cannot write more but he is too weak and hopes soon to visit Purcell in Cincinnati. He asks to be remembered to Bishop Sylvester Rosecrans. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
