Young, Father Nicholas R., Kenton, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1866 August 3

He has visited several stations in his mission and finds things cheering. He had Mass in Forest, Dunkirk, and Johnstown. The people in Johnstown are very desirous to have a small church built. There are about 30 communicants in the place. He could find no suitable house to say Mass in Dunkirk but one to which was attached a grocery with liquor. In Dunkirk James Hart, a Catholic, married Katharine Schnieder out of the Church. Hart wishes to be reconciled to the Church. Father Christian Frensch of New Reigel says he will visit the Germans once a month provided Young takes his place. They will write Bishop Amadeus Rappe for the necessary faculties. He will do this best to open a school in September. He is making only slow progress with his German. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
