McCloskey, William Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1870 November 28

McCloskey acknowledges Purcell's letter of Nov. 25 and gives Purcell Permission to attach his name to the protest, asking, however, that Purcell be not too severe. On his return he came straight through from New York, but he hopes to visit Purcell soon. All goes well and McCloskey has prospect of reopening St. Mary's College with a body of religious, two of whom are with him now. The news from Rome is not encouraging and his own impression is that if they escape a revolution they may feel thankful. It is well that Garibaldi is in France. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
