Young, Father Nicholas R., Kenton, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1868 July 24

The work on the chapel at West Liberty is progressing. It will be ready for dedication on the 23rd. He will go to Cincinnati with Mr. Nash to procure the necessary articles for the sanctuary. He is displeased with the action of the people of Kenton, in the matter of the parish school. Their bickerings have alienated non-Catholics. If the Germans petition him for a separation, they are not to be countenanced, for they are led on by a few Lutheran Catholics and a fanatical muddler. The illiberality is not confined to the German people. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
