McCloskey, William Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 April 24

He returned Saturday from a short trip but has not found the repose he needs. He is not well and does not expect to be until he has a long rest. He tells Purcell to come when he thinks best, and asks him to see any of the clergy he pleases. He will give Purcell all the information he wants but he is heartily tired and will go to the seminary for a rest a month. Purcell's coming is not going to improve him but he must do as he thinks best. Purcell is not to expect him to go around with him as he is utterly unable to do that. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
