Luers, John H. Bp. of Fort Wayne, Mishawaka, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 July 10

He asks when will Bishop Joseph P. Machebeuf be consecrated. Next week he will lay the corner stone for a new church at Gross Point, Illinois, near Chicago. Purcell should write him care of Father Peter Fisher, St. Peter's Church, Chicago. The personal debts of the Bishop of Chicago James Duggan are more than $70,000. Luers is having trouble with Father Julian Benoit who thinks all would have been right if he were bishop of Fort Wayne. Now nothing is right in Benoit's eyes. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
