Borgess, Caspar H. Bishop of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1872 August 17

Purcell's satchel with Borgess' address only was received by Father Peter P. Hennaert and put in Borgess' room. The Express Company will return it to Purcell. On his way home he visited Bishop Sylvester Rosecrans at Columbus. The mason work is not completed and the cathedral will hardly be under roof this fall. They called on Bishop Richard Gilmour but found him absent. Father Alexander McInnis went to Halifax to bury his father and returned a complete wreck. Borgess dismissed him. His uncle Father Otho Borgess fell into his old misfortune and sailed for Europe, according to Father Walter Elliott's telegram. The weather has been quite warm and the 10 o'colck mass was poorly attended. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
