Kenrick is grieved to learn of the pain given Lefevere from an unexpected quarter. Even if the debt were just, Lefevere cannot be held responsible for debts incurred before his appointment if he has not by his own act assumed responsibility. He has heard that the only fault of the person was attachment to money. No scandal should be taken if he has been a married man since the church permits a man once married to orders. Kenrick has not seen him but if he does he will try to get him to abandon his claim. The silence of Rome may arise from, embarrassment. The Bishop Frederick Résé ought to be decently maintained even in his retreat. Kenrick cannot see how property in Bishop Frederick Résé's name can be defended except with the imperfect power of attorney given to Bishop Claude Mary Odin. Perhaps an act of the Legislature could give Lefevere all the temporal rights of the absent bishop. The Cincinnati Telegraph's announcement of Dr. Michael O'Connor's appointment to the See of Charleston has no foundation save that he has been proposed by Bishop Joseph Rosati of St. Louis. The Archbishop Samuel Eccleston, in deference to Kenrick's wishes to retain O'Connor for the See of Pittsburgh, sent three names: Rev. John McElroy S.J., Very Rev. Michael O'Connor, and Rev. James Madison Lancaster. The Telegraph's announcement has been copied into the Religious Cabinet. As the matter has become public, Kenrick believes it necessary to withdraw opposition to the nomination. Lefevere can express to the Sacred Congregation his views on this; and thus have an occasion to arduous duties., P.S. He wishes Lefevere all the consolations of the approaching festivities. :: III-2-g A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
