Domenec, Michael, Bishop of Allegheny, Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 September 4

As he anticipated, there is trouble with his successor in regard to the Sisters of Charity. He asks Purcell to state in writing that the three Sisters of Charity now in the Diocese of Allegheny but belonging to Cincinnati were transferred to Domenec, and not to Bishop John Tuigg of Pittsburgh. Tuigg may get some notions into his head and Domenec wishes to be well prepared. P.S.—He hopes Purcell's health is as good as it was at the time of his Golden Anniversary. He has often thought how God favored and blessed Purcell. It was a genuine joy to see him the day of his golden wedding as Bishop of the Church of God. His health is very good and he is happy in his new diocese. The only thing that mars his happiness are the unnecessary troubles and scandals in Pittsburgh. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
