Feehan, Patrick A., Bishop of, Nashville, Tennessee, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1866 April 30

Feehan received Purcell's letter from Mr. Medarty. He has not yet heard from Bishop Richard Whelan, and he has not transferred to Nashville or to Father Kelly, the late administrator, any of the church property of the Diocese. There is a claim against him for ten or twelve thousand dollars which he borrowed from a German Catholic of Nashville. Feehan believes there is also a lien on the church and bishop's residence. He thinks these claims should be paid for justice and for the honor of religion. Feehan has not been able to write to Whelan because he could not learn his address until lately. Then he wrote him a few days ago, requesting him to transfer the church property. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
