Duffy, Father John D., Circleville, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 June 9

At present there remains $17 of the debt which the congregation owed. Duffy was astonished to hear that he was so far gone in consumption. His health is slowly improving. Mr. Jamison invited him to visit him in Baltimore; he intended going to Cincinnati to get permission for Duffy. During six months of the year he says two Masses on Sunday, during the other half of the year the roads are so bad that people cannot hear Mass in town. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
