McCloskey, William, Bishop of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell ,of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1877 February 7

He is delighted to hear that the Prelates of the Province will be at Mother Columba's Jubilee. They look to Purcell for the discourse to be delivered on the occasion as he is an old friend of hers and has known her longer than anybody else, besides it not being fitting that anyone else do the talking when Purcell has been at it longer than any of the rest. Although Bishop Ignatius Mrak lives far away, he hopes he will be able to come. He asks Purcell to induce Bishop Joseph Dwenger to postpone the work he has on hand for there are many things they could discuss while together. Mrs. Sarah Peter sent her good work before her before going to her reward. He sends regards to Father Edward Purcell. II-5-f - A.L.S. - 2pp. - 12mo. - {4}
