McCloskey, William Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 February 17

McCloskey thanks Purcell for his letter of Feb. 16. He will try to be in Cincinnati after returns from Cleveland. He received a document from Cleveland, sent to all the bishops of the Province. He hopes that Purcell will soon be able to put this scandal out of the way, as it is doing great mischief. Father Thomas Farrell has brought the trouble on himself, yet he is a kindhearted man. McCloskey asks if Purcell has seen the letter of the Roman Rectors to La Marmora. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
