Purcell has received Lefevere's check for $50 for the Levi Silliman Ives fund. Until he received the letter from Archbishop Kenrick, Purcell thought they were to be called on no more. Dr. Ives is lecturing and "Professing and Probably well paid." The news by Father Foley's brother seems to be all "cry and no bull". Allocutions and decrees about Mexican affairs and South American and Swiss and animal magnetism and spiritual rapping have arrived. Purcell asks Lefevere's opinion about receiving into the Church, the Mother Abess Mr. Mrs. Thomas L. Nichols of the Memnonea Institute of the Free Lovers, her husband and a young lady all residing at Yellow Springs, near Xenia, Ohio. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
