Navarron, Father Louis, St. Philomena, Clermont County, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 February 29

Navarron acknowledges Purcell's letter of Feb. 4 with the 22 intentions and $11 in stipends. Purcell should address him at New Boston. He has never said two masses on the same day except at Christmas. Now at Stonelick the people can come at ten o'clock, and he does not deem it prudent to begin to have two masses. The Catholics will be able to make their Easter duty coming to him or to one of the other priests. He intends to teach the children catechism 3 or 4 days a week beginning Easter Tuesday until they are prepared for first communion at the beginning of June. :: II-5-b A..L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
