Hickey, Father John F., Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1865 January 10

Hickey again asks Purcell about his subscription. Hickey was very sick this time last year, and does not remember paying for his paper in advance. Hickey sends five dollars in advance for the present year. Because of years of friendship which is close to Hickey's heart, he almost forgot that he is a poor priest writing to a Prince of the Church. Another motive for writing is to know if they ought not to take another into their society of 7 glories, in the place of Father Honoratus Xaupi, who is not dead, but freed from Office, Mass, etc. Father Xaupi is hors de combat though he may be able to say his 7 glories. Hick is entirely restored to health and is now Chaplain at the Hospital. :: II-5-h A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
