McFarland, William, Kendall, Ohio, to Francis P. McFarland, 1845 February 25
Scope and Contents
They are all in good health. Francis spoke of sending them an Almanac but it did not come. They are all well at Wapakonetta. Josiah is in Tiffin. The winter has been open and wet but there has been little sickness. The Whigs are making a great batch of banks and the railroads are progressing. He had last week a pamphlet by Rev. C. Sparry of New York against Catholicism, a very bigoted paper. Every Protestant preacher is a nativist and they intend to put down the Catholics. They hate Bishop John Hughes and Francis Patrick Kenrick as devils. James Polk will take his seat in a few days despite the Whig nativism and anti-slavery parties. On the back addressed to Josiah McFarland at Tiffin, Ohio. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
