Conroy, John J. Bishop of Albany, Albany, New York, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell of, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1867 December 27

Father Edward Coleman would have been affiliated to Albany had he given satisfaction. Coleman had charge of a mission in which there were three churches and some stations; he left all in a worse state than when he had received the church. The funds he collected he applied to himself and family. Because of his dishonesty the property had to be forfeited for non-payment. The man is worthless. :: II-5-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
