Foley, Thomas Bishop of Pergamus, Chicago, Illinois, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 August 1

Purcell's letter has reached him, and while he is sorry to give pain to any one, he does not experience any regret in what he did, because where the episcopate is in question the individual is nothing. Foley has met Father J.F. Blake of the diocese of Wilmington out once and knows nothing against him, except that he heard from his bishop or a priest that he thought he was too great a light to be hidden on the eastern shore of Maryland. P.S.—The Rev. Mr. Graham of Cincinnati has been in trouble in Chicago. The police have had him several times. There are always dozens of such people hanging around the city. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
