Foley, Father Thomas Baltimore, Maryland, To Archbishop John Baptist Purcell Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 March 11

Foley thanks Purcell for his letter and the draft for $50 for the Convert's Fund. Bishop Richard V. Whelan is visiting him and the bishop received Purcell's letter addressed to him at Wheeling containing the same views as Purcell's letter to Foley. The answers Whelan received from several Prelates which coincide with Purcell's views have induced him to modify his determinations and adopt the old policy, "Masterly inactivity." Foley learned this through the Rev. Administrator, Father Henry B. Coskery who sends his regards to Purcell. II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. 4
