Dwenger, C.PP.S., Father Joseph, Minster, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1861 February 3

On the 23rd of January they had theological conferences at Greenwood. Almost all the Precious Blood Fathers of both dioceses were present. Their superior, Father Andrew Kunkler is laboring very much for the conferences and urges all to study. The results of the conferences are most happy. The three young men to whom Purcell gave minor orders give them the greatest joy. At present he has only 12 students studying for the priesthood. He gives daily classes in Dogma, Moral, Philosophy, and Latin. Father Kunkler commended him to organize a learned and efficient clergy and to be most strict with regard to the piety of the students. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
