Fitzgerald, Father Edward, Columbus, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1863 August 31

Purcell promised to send two young lads from Columbus into the seminary on Fitzgerald's recommendation. One of them is now ready to go as soon as he hears where Purcell wishes to send him. The parents of the other wish him to wait another year. He is only twelve but very advanced in his studies. Fitzgerald wishes to substitute another lad who is one of the best in the congregation but not very brilliant. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
