McGill, John Bishop of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1870 October 13

Dr. Fitzgibbon, the executor of the estate of James H. Behan has informed him that except for the bringing over of the body of Behan, the matters of the estate are to be handled by Purcell and McGill. Then Purcell must come and receive the estate, or give his power of attorney to McGill. Should the legacees claim their portion of the money, there will be no residuum, and none have offered to give their's up except for Archbishop Martin John Spalding of Baltimore. He is anxious to get the affair settled, since his health is none too good, although he is able to get around enough to do his work. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
