O'Donoghue, Father Michael, Hillsboro, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 March 26

He will be prepared for Purcell's visit on Ascension day, May 1. He chose that day because there might be two or three priest on the occasion. He hopes at least to have Father F.X. Dutton of St. Martin's. In regard to Purcell's suggestion as to Jefferson, O'Donoghue would rather remain at Hillsboro, as he has given up the notion of leaving, at least for a while. He is thankful for Purcell's kind wishes and can see the wisdome of his judgment in not sanctioning the proposition made by Father J Conway at the last retreat. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
