Borgess, Caspar H., Bishop of Detroit, Dexter, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 May 14

He apologizes for delaying in thanking Purcell for his kindness upon the occasion of the death of Borgess' mother. He thanks him also for other proofs of paternal affection for more than twenty-six years. He hopes his Mother in heaven joins him in praying to God for Purcell. Since Purcell is so interested in the work of his sons in Christ, Borgess sends him a report of his visitations and the number confirmed since his last visit to Cincinnati. He hopes Purcell will visit him soon, and asks to be remembered to Father Edward Purcell. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
