Dwenger, Joseph, Bishop of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 April 30

Purcell's letter was received this evening and tomorrow Dwenger will go to South Bend to see what he can do and will write Purcell the result. He thinks that Holy Trinity congregation suffers if Father Bernard Hengehold remains. He is a saintly man but has lost the good will of the priests and has heard no complaint. Could Bishop John H. Luers sell his residence, cathedral, school and part of the cathedral property without consent of Rome? Dwenger considers it against the episcopal oath. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
