Fitch, Minnie Sherman, St. Louis, Missouri, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1875 July 17

She thanks Purcell for the medal he sent to her baby by his Grandmother, and the kind messages he sent to them. They feel greatly blessed in their fine boy, and happy in the pride and pleasure they feel in little Willy Sherman Fitch. Her Mother and the family have gone North for the summer. Poor William was not well so they had to hurry off. Mr. Thomas Fitch is hard at work and nicely started in his business. She shall remain there during the summer unless she finds it necessary to leave on the baby's account. She recommends them all to Purcell's prayers. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
