Navarron, Father Louis, Stone Lick, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 May 23

For several Sundays Navarron has been instructing in his two churches on the Eucharist and Penance. He has heard a good number of confessions and for two weeks has been teaching the catechism to his children. He hopes to have over twenty for first communion. They will be prepared by June 21. He asks the Archbishop to visit them, leaving the date to Purcell, hoping that it will be the third or fourth week after Pentecost. He would like to go to Cincinnati a few days before the first communion to invite a priest to assist him for a few days. He would leave the choice of the priest to Purcell. All the children speak and write English. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
