Chatard, Father Silas M., Rome, Italy, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 June 20

When Bishop James F.Wood of Philadelphia transmitted to Chatard the proceeds of the Burses for the latter half of 1871, he requested that the receipt of them be acknowledged to the individual contributors. He therefore gives receipt for $300, proceeds of two Burses belonging to the Diocese of Cincinnati. Father Engelbert Stehle has paid them a visit and will likely tell of his vicissitudes in getting his audience. He enjoyed Rome, as did his companions. The Holy Father is well. By the time this letter gets to Purcell, he will have read the Pope's letter to cardinal Antonelli. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
