McCloskey, William, Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1875 September 6

McCloskey sends his reply to Father L. Bax's card with the card itself for the Telegraph. McCloskey asks Purcell to write the letter to Cardinal Alexander Franchi as he promised. Purcell knows him and can give the Cardinal more light than any one else. Father Bax will undoubtedly leave the diocese sooner or later. McCloskey asks Purcell to send a long letter to Cardinal John McCloskey giving him his views since he can materially aid McCloskey. When he gets the statement about the nuns near Gethsemani he will let Purcell see it. He denies what the Benedict Berger Abbot says he insinuated. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
