Carrell, George A. Bishop of Covington, Covington, Kentucky, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1859 October 13

Carrell understands that the pastor of Ironton, Ohio makes regular visits to the furnaces around Ashland and assesses the Catholic workmen. Father Oswald Moosmiller O.S.B., who attended those missions last year complained to Carrell that he could get hardly enough to defray expenses. Father Clement Sheve, whom Carrell has appointed to attend those missions on account of his knowledge of of German and English complains of the same thing. Since the pastor of Ironton has received faculties from Purcell, Carrell asks Purcell to withdraw him from the parts of Carrell's diocese. According to the verbal arrangements of the Bishops at the late Provincial Council of Cincinnati, Carrell believes it proper that Purcell should know of this intrusion by the Ironton pastor. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
