Alemany, Joseph S. Arbp. Of San Francisco, San Francisco, California, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 October 15

He wrote the Holy See and requested that his resignation be accepted or that he be given a coadjutor. He names the following: Father John Prendergast, his vicar-general; Father Bartholomew Woodlock, Rector of the Irish University; Father William Fortune, President of All Hallows College. He asks Purcell to send his views to Cardinal Barnabo. His main object is to be partly free in order to devote himself to the establishment of one or more colleges in Spain for the spritual benefit of Spanish American Colonies. The Holy Father seemed to approve of the plan. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
