Hannin, Father Edward, Cleveland, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1870 August 27

Bishop Amadeus Rappe left there Thursday, and on being telegraphed Hannin came this morning. There is considerable talk about the bishop's departure, which he thinks it will last only a few days. If the priest of both parties keep quiet, the people will do so too. The German priests held a meeting Thursday night and sent two priests to see Purcell. Hannin has held himself aloof and will have nothing to do with petitions etc. If both parties will be moderate it is unnecessary to say what the result will be. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
