Fitzgerald, Father Edward, Columbus, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1862 January 1

Fitzgerald found a place for the orphans about whom he previously wrote Purcell. In 1857 he received a written statement from Father James Meagher which was to be a full account of the church debts. Since then a claim for $65 was made. Meagher says the claim is valid but shows the account of where it was spent. Fitzgerald ignored the claim and is now faced with a lawsuit. He desires to know if he should stand the suit or pay the claim for which there is no account or note. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
