Dwenger, C.PP.S., Father Joseph, St. Mary's, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 January 2

He has been very busy during the holidays with his three missions. In Koputh he has the greatest difficulty to instruct the children. Times are too bad to build a church there. The teachers of the public schools are rather favorably inclined towards the Catholics. He wishes to introduce the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart. He suggests that Purcell in his Lenten Pastoral warn the Catholics against Secret Societies. This is a great difficulty. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
