Borgess, Caspar H. Bishop of Calydon, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 June 23

Borgess sends feast days greetings to Purcell. He has seen in the papers the report that Mayor Davis of Cincinnati has ruled that the concert in Mozart Hall Sunday evening cannot be held, but Borgess hopes the story is not true. Purcell has doubtless heard of their celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Pope's coronation. It was glorious with the employers of Catholic workers permitting them to join in the celebration. He sends Purcell the paper telling of the celebration. The agitators of the diocese of Cleveland are at their work again. Borgess regrets the harm done to the faithful by the great scandal. He hopes the weather is pleasant in Cincinnati. He, unlike Purcell, has to attend only two exhibitions, that of the Madames of the Sacred Heart and that at Monroe, Michigan. Father CorneliusMoutard of Jackson, has died and it is hoped that all ill-feeling has been buried with him. Borgess has been obliged to send away Father Thomas Burke who came from St. Louis. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
