Bayley, James R. Archbishop of Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1874 February 21

The Archbishop John McCloskey of New York thinks the first week in May would be a good time for their meeting in Cincinnati. He writes to see if Purcell has any suggestions before fixing the exact time and making the invitations. If they all come there will be eight Archbishops and Bishops. He suggests that half of them take up residence at some convenient hotel, as Purcell will not be able to receive them all. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
