Francis Anton Seitz from Hechingen and parish priest in Thannheim expressed to the Vicar his desire to leave the Archdiocese and go to the United States for the sake of a better fortune. He asked the Vicar to grant him discharges. The Vicar accedes to this request and attests that Francis Anton Seitz, of moral character, is entangled in no excommunication, suspension, interdict, ecclesiastical penalty, irregularity, or other canonical impediment. While in the Archdiocese of Freiburg Seitz led a life decent in morals and conversation proper to clerics and devoted himself zealously to the care of souls. Wherefore the Vicar grants Seitz the license and discharge to subject himself to some bishop in the United States. In testimony of this the Vicar writes this document and attaches to it the Archiepiscopal seal. :: III-2-g L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
