Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Lefevere's letter has afflicted Quigley exceedingly. He details his sufferings at Grattan, particularly from a Mr. Howard Giles. He is willing to abide by Father Francis Van Erp's strict inquiry as to his honesty. He lists money received from one source or another. He refers to Father Cornelius Moutard and Father Mary Paul Wehrle as witnesses to his proper behavior. After the arrival of the Vicar General Father Peter Kindekens? Quigley received no offerings. He asks Lefevere to take compassion on him at his age, bereft of all means of support. No religious community will receive him without his last bishop's statement. He owes some Masses but can not say Mass. He encloses a copy of a letter of recommendation from Archbishop John B. Purcell of Jan. 12, 1855 in Latin. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
