Dwenger, C.PP.S., Father Joseph, Wapakoneta, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 June 22

Dwenger acknowledges Purcell's letter and circular. He believes the young couple to whom Purcell allowed the dispensation will prove good Catholics. He asks Purcell to allow this congregation to have the procession of the Blessed Sacrament on Corpus Christi and the feast of the Precious Blood. Dwenger has twenty-four dollars for the Seminary and a deed for additional church ground at Six Miles. He will send it when Father Kunkler sends his, but he will be unable to give ten dollars himself because he has no salary. The mission at Freiburg was a complete success. He asks a dispensation of a marriage impediment. Dwenger would like to keep down the scandal which will come out if they are separated. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
