McGill, John Bishop of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 April 8

Purcell's letter of Apr. 3 informs him that the check on Alex Brown and Sons was paid and that it was for $7800. However, the check was actually for $7,868.46. It will be easy to secure the check from Brown's and see whether the amount was correct. Since he goes down to Norfolk after Low Sunday, it will be easy for him to take the bonds and cosign them to the custody of Dr. Fitzgibbon. Due to the caliber of men in the state legislature, McGill is considering selling his bonds before they are rendered worthless. Some say it would have been done in this session of legislature, were it not for the influence of Wall Street. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
