McMahon, Father Philip, Zaleske, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 February 13

He bought some property at Athens, paid $250 and obtained the deed. The money was subscribed by only five persons. He will build a church if it meets Purcell's approval. The few mischief-making disturbers in Wilkesville never did anything for priest or church, yet they go in person to Purcell to lie about McMahon. He sends $5 for the American College in Rome and also the deed for Purcell's inspection. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
