Capel, Father T.J. ? Catholic University College, Kensington, London, England, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1877 November 28

He has lately received into the Church Mrs. George Pendleton Bowler of Cincinnati, whose name is probably known to Purcell. She has left London with her husband and sister-in-law to spend a few months in Egypt and the East, perhaps visiting Rome in the spring. Mrs. Bowler feels that a letter from Purcell would be of great value to her as an introduction, and as she has not met Purcell, she asks Capel to write for her. Her family wish to keep her conversation quiet at present, but he is thankful that Mr. Bowler has acted in a kind and generous manner and he trusts that Bowler and Miss Bowler may ultimately also become Catholics. He would like to renew the acquaintance with Purcell that began in Rome at the time of the Council. Since then he has been engaged in important works which will forward the cause of the Church in this country. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
