McCloskey, William, Bishop of, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 August 6

He has asked Father Richard Gilmour of Dayton Ohio to give the retreat to the clergy this year and as he has consented, McCloskey now asks Purcell's approval. As soon as he can, he plans to go to some springs. He has been very ill since his return from Indiana. The doctor insists he narrowly missed typhoid and needs some some of these waters. Bishop John McGill of Richmond was at French Licks and his description of the "cabinet" was enough to cure any one. He sends regards to Father Edward Purcell. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
