Borgess, Caspar H., Bishop of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 September 20

Borgess thanks Purcell for his letter. He has just received a dispatch informing him that the church and priest's house at Grattan, Michigan have burned down. This probably is the work of Father B.A. Quinn who thought they were not insured, but fearing such an act Borgess had them insured on Sept. 8th. This is indeed a wicked world. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
