Benoit, Father Julian, Administrator, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 January 19

He regrets his inability to visit Purcell and to be present at the ordination of Mr John Grogan . His assistant is ill, leaving only Benoit able to run the affairs. He asks that the young priest be sent as soon as possible, as they need his services. Let the seminary advance the traveling expenses, and his bill will be paid as soon as presented. He hopes Purcell enjoyed the past Holy Days. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
