Domenec, Michael, Bishop of, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 May 17

He writes to inform Purcell that he has written to Mother Regina requesting her to let the Sisters of Charity remain a little longer in Pittsburgh, as the sisters who have joined them are yet too young and need the direction of the older sisters. In case she refers the matter to Purcell, Domenec hopes he will encourage and persuade her to let them remain a little longer. He is glad that Cleveland is settled. He fears that there will be no Archbishop for a long time, judging by information he received some have written to Rome changing their views, which will delay the appointment. He hopes Purcell is strong in health, though advanced in age. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
