Cullen, Paul Cardinal, Dublin, Ireland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 December 12

A royal commission is sitting in Ireland examining the state of national education. He intends to give his views and is anxious to know Purcell's experience with regard to similar schools in the United States. Their schools must be open to children of every denomination and nothing must be taught that might clash with the religion of any child. He has been suffering since the beginning of last July. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
