Cartuyvels, Father Louis, Chicago, Illinois?, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 February

He thanks Purcell for sending the letter of Father O'Dwyer who loaned 200 piastres, not to Cartuyvels but to the church of Aurora. Cartuyvels is not personnally responsible. When Bishop James Duggan refused to pay this debt, O'Dwyer secured a judgment against Cartuyvels O'Dwyer was drunk when he wrote that letter to Purcell. O'Dwyer wrote that he is without resources while he has at St. Charles 40 thousand piastres in property and over 100 thousand piastres in Canada. Cartuyvel's gift distribution will be honest. He undertook this method to raise money with good intentions. He wishes Purcell to know that there is no black spot on his character. :: II-5-d A.L.S. French 4pp. 8vo.
