McCloskey, William, Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1869 February 19

McCloskey has received Purcell's letter but does not care to accept the person mentioned by Purcell into his diocese. It is too bad that a person of such talents should have forgotten the dignity of the priesthood, and McCloskey sympathizes with him in his present predicament. He would rather want for priests than take such risks. He hopes that Purcell's headache has passed. He has read in a Dubuque paper the eulogium of Father Daniel O'Regan . On Sunday he will install the new mother of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, but quietly so that no one will ask about the predecessor. He sends his respects to certain priests. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
