Fitzgerald, Father Edward, Columbus, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1862 February 8

Fitzgerald is just on his way to Bellefontaine and Marion Ohio when he receives Purcell's letter. Father Thomas J.J. Coppinger is feeling better and will preach tomorrow but; because of his hand, he cannot say Mass. Father Bernard Seling will take Coppinger's place tomorrow at St. Patrick's, but Fitzgerald believes Coppinger will soon be in perfect health because now, with the exception of his arm, his health is better than it has been for years. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
