De Somalia acknowledges Maréchal's letter of May 13 in which he stated that Bishop Edward Fenwick of Cincinnati earnestly desires as his coadjutor Father Francis Kenrick of the diocese of Bardstown. Although not denying the validity of the Bishop's plea, the Sacred Congregation does not think that Father Kenrick should be removed. Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget has written to the Sacred Congregation setting forth the qualities of Kenrick and of his need for him in the diocese of Bardstown. De Somalia thinks that Kenrick should be left there and asks that Maréchal name three other candidates for the coadjutorship and he will see that the appointment is put through quickly. no. 66.
