Brummer, Father John W., Enoch, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 May 8

He writes in behalf of Casper Garst a former seminarian for Purcell and now a scholastic of the Jesuit order. On account of his ill health Garst has been given permission to come home. The Jesuits fear he will not be able to stand the duties intended for him and would obtain dispensation from his vows if some bishop will receive him as a secular. This Bishop of Covington will accept him but he prefers to come to Purcell. He asks for Purcell's decision. Martin Draifs who has been a teacher for Brummer wishes to enter the seminary and will come to Purcell for examination. Brummer has lodged Mr. Yolen, a candidate of Father A. Meyer's at Miltonsburg where he teaches the children and studies theology and Latin. He will continue until further orders from Purcell. He intends to go to Cincinnati to see Purcell about a serious personal matter. He should like Purcell to send a priest to give a mission there. P.S. He asks for a missionary to give a retreat. He asks several questions. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
