Matassi C.P., Father Guido Provincial Secretary, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Cardinal Alexander Franchi, Rome, Italy, 1875 January 20

In conformity with the order of Franchi, Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of Cincinnati summoned before him Bishop Caspar Borgess of Detroit and Father Henry Delbaere of the same diocese. Borgess came Jan. 19 with Father Henry Schutjes, his secretary, and Father M. Schaeken of Dearborn, Michigan. Also, Father Delbaere came at the appointed time. Purcell acting as mediator rather than judge proposed that Borgess forget the past and revoke the sentence of suspension against Delbaere and give his exeat from the diocese, Delbaere going free from any censure. Borgess declared himself willing and Delbaere declared himself satisfied, Purcell then ordered Guido to prepare a brief account of the affair for the Cardinal prefect. Apparently a first draft in English. :: II-5-f A.D.S. 3pp. 8vo.
