Domenec, Michael, Bishop of Allegheny, Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 December 11

Mrs. F Thomsen was buried today and her brother, Mr. Francis Darr, has requested Domenec to ask Purcell to gently dissuade her mother, Mrs. Darr, from having the remains returned to Cincinnati and also to bring the children to Cincinnati. Mr. Darr and the relations have decided otherwise and they think their plan is the best. He writes at the particular request of Darr whose card is enclosed. Domenec's neighbor is the occasion of much uneasiness to him. Archbishop James F. Wood has said something about which Purcell hinted to Domenec, as coming from Omaha, Nebraska. He wonders why he is so persecuted. He expects to exercise patience. He wishes Purcell a merry Christmas. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
