He will write in a few days to Cardinal Alexander Barnabo relative to the names proposed for Little Rock. For Dubuque he proposed Father John Hennessy of St. Louis, pastor at St. Joseph, about 40 years of age, studious and eloquent, commended by the Vicar Apostolic of Leavenworth to the bishops assembled here this week for the consecration of the Bishop of Nashville; Father Denis Dunn, Vicar General of Dubuque and appointed Bishop of St. Paul on the death of Bishop Cretin. Kenrick has named him Administrator of Dubuque. He is pious and exemplary and has been eminently successful in Davenport where he has resided all the time. There are 3 churches and schools in that city. Odin is to express his opinion to Barnabo. :: VI-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
