Barry, Father William J., Mt. St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1861 February 2

Mr. Goff left the seminary this evening. Mr. Murray is still there. Barry had suspected Mr. Goff of habitual drinking since November. Barry thinks Murray is entitled to a second chance; his conduct has always been exemplary and his fault was owing to his association with Goff. This continual running to and from the city must be stopped if the seminary spirit is to be preserved. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
