Dwenger, Joseph, Bishop of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1873 November 5

Bishop Patrick John Ryan of St. Louis will be there Nov. 13 to lecture and Dwenger will be home that day. It would be more convenient for him to go with Purcell to South Bend the following Monday after the consecration in Detroit and they could return by way of Fort Wayne. Bishop Caspar Borgess would also come with them. If it is more convenient to visit the week previous, he suggests that Purcell leave in the morning for Fort Wayne, stay over night, and leave the following forenoon for South Bend and he could follow on Friday, or he could go with Purcell and be back in time to meet Ryan and meet Purcell in Detroit. That way Purcell would lose no night's rest and would have good connections. Perhaps it would even be more convenient if Dwenger did not go with him to South Bend. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
