Kenrick, Peter Richard, Abp. St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1865 November 3

Bishops Henry Juncker, James Duggan, Patrick A. Feehan and John B. Miege, S.J. of Nashville and the vicar Apostolic of Kansas have united with Kenrick in recommending the following names for the see of Dubuque: Father John Hennessy of St. Louis, formerly superior of the Theological Seminary, solidly learned, and an excellent preacher; Father Denis Dunn, D.D. vicar general of Chicago; Father J.A.M. Pelamourgues who was vicar general for Bishop Mathias Loras and Bishop clement Smyth. He has been eminently successful in his missionary career and was formerly appointed to the see of St. Paul but he declined it. Purcell will be glad to learn that the consecration of the new bishop of Nashville, Patrick A. Feehan took place. The new bishop cannot but be successful. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
