Oram, Father William, H., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop John H. Lüers, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1865 November 6

He was doing duty in New York when his brother shot a man in self-defense. This plunged him in such gloom that he wishes to get away from New York. Archbishop Purcell received him into his diocese but cannot give him a place where he can support his mother. Purcell advised him to seek a place in another diocese. He is 27 years of age and a convert since the age of 11. Lüers will have no cause for regret if he accepts him. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
