McCloskey, William, Bishop of, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 January 2

There is a person here who professes to be a Chaldean and a convert and who also says he is a Bishop-elect, and has collected in France for four years. He has papers to prove this and they seem to be all right, but McCloskey thought it prudent to write Purcell and ask him if he knew anything against the Rt. Rev. Joseph George, as he calls himself. If he does, McCloskey asks that he telegraph at once, otherwise he will wait for his letter. He believes the Archbishop of St. Louis Peter R. Kenrick is at home. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
