O'Keefe, Sister M. Vincent St. Vincent's Asylum Santa Fe,, New Mexico, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 February 6

They acknowledge most gratefully the receipt of the ten dollars through Bishop John Lamy of Santa Fe. They are thankful and are glad to hear that Purcell and Father Edward Purcell are well. It is a great consolation to know that although they are far away, they are still objects of Purcell's solicitude. Their prayers are all they have to offer in return. They are all in good health. Bishop Lamy is a kind father who supplies them with flour, fuel and many other things. They have 34 children, five patients, and a Catholic lady and her family. All the sisters unite in asking for Purcell's remembrance of them in his prayers. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
