Fitzgerald, Father Edward, Columbus, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1864 August 11

Fitzgerald says that since he started building the school-house, many people are offering money without interest to help him. He asks Purcell to please authorize him to receive such money because he has to pay cash for labor and materials and payment of subscriptions is very slow. Purcell's note on back says he granted Fitzgerald permission according to his discretion and prudence. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
