Tevis, Carroll, London, England, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1869 May 12

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Tevis asks McMaster to send him two or three copies of Archbishop John B. Purcell's Cincinnati paper containing the censure of Father Joseph Wis sel, C.SS.R. and others. McMaster's article was read in Rome, but people do not believe the allegations made by McMaster, which Tevis, however, knows to be true. Tevis would also like copies of anything else on the same subject, as Purcell's action in this case is like his attack on Tevis and McMaster. Tevis will not return to Rome until November 1869, but will be there throughout the Vatican Council, and will contribute three weekly letters to the Freeman if McMaster wishes. Young Lerche has turned out badly. He was convicted of stealing from his fellow soldiers and sentenced to death, but was sent to the galleys instead. Tevis thinks he will be released in a year's time and drummed out of the service. After June 1, 1869, Tevis address will be "The Vineyard, Kempsey, Worcester, Worcestershire, England, care of Mrs. F.C. Du Barry." :: I-1-n A.L. S. 2pp. 12mo.
