Conroy, John J. Bishop of Albany, Albany, New York, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 October 4

Conroy received Purcell's letter of Sept. 25 and was startled to learn from it the character he has at home and abroad. Purcell believed the admonition required, and his advice was at once accepted. Last week he was obliged to hold ordinations at the Cathedral, this week he is detained by official and financial business that can be handled only by himself, but hopes to leave the city immediately afterwards. He regrets that he will be unable to go as far as Cincinnati. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
