On March 31st, Schlichter was accepted as an ecclesiastical student for the diocese of Columbus by Bishop John Watterson and he will enter the seminary to begin his studies in theology. He requests a copy of the Westmin ster Gazette, The Weekly Register and the London Tablet. Schlichter has called Father Joseph Jessing 's attention to these periodicals. Concerning the controversy between Jessing and a bogus community of Franciscan Brothers, whom Hudson was inclined to favor, Schlichter has more information on them. The Brothers were not an authorized community, the chief authority being invested in a lay brother, residing in Holland. This information Watterson sent to Bishop William Elder the Coadjutor of Cincinnati. This community avoids being controlled by the Archbishop of Cincinnati. The conduct of the Superior in charge of the boys and brothers at St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum at Columbus has created public scandal and Jessing has been forced to remove him from the institution. :: X-2-h A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
