McCloskey, William, Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1874 August 4

If he did not know how kind Purcell is towards those who are trying to do something for the good of religion, he would not send this letter to ask permission for the Sisters who present it, to ask assistance from their friends in Cincinnati. He vouches for their poverty and the good works they have been doing. If he could do for them in Louisville, what Purcell's kindness can, he would not give them this introduction, the first and last of its kind. They will tell Purcell their own story. Father George McCloskey is well and wishes to be remembered to Purcell. Father John McCloskey told him he paid Purcell a visit. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
