Eicher has learned from Father Nagel, that St. Joseph parish is vacant and Father Edward Francis Vancampenhoudt has written him about this parish for 2 years but Eicher could not accept at that time because of missions. Eicher's relation with Bishop John Timon who is very old, is very happy but at the moment he has 4 parishes with one assistant and his health is too feeble to carry so large a burden. As to character witnesses, Father James Nagel, C.SS.R., Father Lucas Caveng, S.J., of St. Michael's, Buffalo, and Bishop John Timon are named. Eicher can conduct religious services for Germans and French. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
