Blanchet, Augustin Magloire A bishop of Nesqualy, Vancouver, W. T. Canada, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1873 September 14

Blanchet acknowledges Purcell's letter of Sept. 2 in which he expressed anxiety concerning a previous letter of June 20. Blanchet acknowledges his fault in not answering. Then he thought the sisters were about to go to Cincinnati and it was his intention to give them a letter to Purcell. Purcell's letter gave him joy and he is grateful for Purcell's interest in the orphans. The orphans and Sisters will not cease to pray for Purcell. The Sisters designed to collect in the East will soon set out, but will first stop at Dubuque where Bishop John Hennessy has given them permission to make a collection. :: II-5-f A.L.S.
