Dupanloup, Felix, Bishop of Orleans, Orleans, France, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1865 March 12

The happiness he had in meeting Purcell in Rome three years ago makes him hope that Purcell will not find him indiscreet in writing now. He wishes Purcell to receive with kindness the work he recently published in defense of the Church and the Holy See entitled "The Convention of Dec. 15th and the Encyclical of December 8." Numerous translations have appeared in the different countries. The Holy Father has written him with his accustomed goodness. :: II-5-c A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
