Scope and Contents

Father T. R. Butler who lately applied for admission into Purcell's diocese influenced by some unfortunate circumstances has decided to remain where he is. This is the letter course. It will prevent much talk. Father Butler stands high in the community. It would be a matter of conscience to suffer a priest of Butler's age, experience, and piety to leave the diocese. Carrell would gladly live and die a Trappist, if he could only obtain permission to resign. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
