Since the death of Father John O'Dwyer O.S.A. of Philadelphia who was first on the list for the new see of Savannah, Georgia, Reynolds, at the suggeston of Archbishop Samuel Eccleston, S.S. of Baltimore, made out several new lists. The first list, objected to by the Archbishop, was never sent; the second he was forced to withdraw because of the grave opposition of two prelates and the third list which he sent to all the prelates he was constrained to change in consequence of a private communication from one of the bishops. The fourth and last list, attached below, was sent to Rome by the Archbishop on July 1, and Reynolds was asked to send the list to Lefevere so that he may, if he thinks proper, write to the Prefect of the Sacra Congregatio de Propagande Fide, and give his views on the first of the candidates. Reynolds is aware that some are opposed to the first on the list but he can find no valid objection; he is highly recommended by his bishop. The second on the list would be first if it were not almost certain that he would refuse and further that he entertains opinions and feelings which would make his situation critical in a slave state. Several bishops have wished him to defer the appointment for Savannah until the next Council but he knows that religion is now suffering very much in Georgia for want of a bishop. This is the list sent on: 1. Father Joseph A Schneller: 2. Father Edward Purcell; 3. Father Francis Xavier Gartland :: III-2-h L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
