Andres, Father Francis M., Newark, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1863 December 19

Andres says that through a talk with the trustees of the congregation of Newark, Ohio, he learns that they are in great need of a priest. The people will not pay church dues or keep the school up until they get a pastor. Andres asks Purcell to send him there, since he is needed at Newark more than at Coshocton. He lists the Catholics in each place. He could rent the house he bought in Coschocton and pay for it by contributions of the people. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
