Noethen, Father Theodore, Albany New York, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 April 21

Noethen received Purcell's note of the 17th and it afforded him more pleasure than any event during his 23 years of labor as a priest in America. He will, in accordance with Purcell's suggestion, publish at the end of the first Volume a notice making use of the excellent remarks contained in Purcell's letter. He thanks Purcell for the interest he has shown over his translation, and asks for his blessing. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
