Fitzgerald, Father Edward, Columbus, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1860 June 19

Mr. Leonard says the Dominican Sisters of Somerset Ohio whose Academy was lately destroyed by fire contemplate settling in Columbus where railroad facilities are better. Fitzgerald believes the citizens will help them in erecting a building because twenty-three girls from Columbus have attended the school at Sommerset the past session. They have their own chaplain and will not add labor to the priests. Fitzgerald favors their coming. He says Mr. Leonard will explain the matter more and they ask Purcell's approval of the project. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
