Andres, Father Francis, Coshocton, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1865 February 20

Andres presents a case of attempted marriage before a civil magistrate with an impediment of consanguinity in the third degree. They have come to have their marriage validated. According to the decrees of Trent there is no hope for the dispensation. Since there is suspicion of cohabitation, and a fear of a continuance in this invalid marriage, if the dispensation is not given, Andres asks Purcell for advice in the case. :: II-5-c A.L.S.
