Cullen, Father Paul, Dublin, Ireland, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1866 June 13

Since Purcell did not receive the paper Cullen sent before, he encloses an extract from the Freeman's Journal which gives a good idea of what the Fenians have been publishing in Ireland. The document enclosed was drawn up by Mr. John Gray in answer to law proceedings instituted against him for having published a letter Cullen wrote against the Fenian newspaper, The Irish People. When the affidavit was filed, the editor of the People abandoned the law suit. Cullen fears more trouble with the Fenians whose hopes are still kept up by money and letters from America. Cullen sends his respects to Bishop Rosecrans. Material mentioned is not enclosed. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
