Hannin, Father Edward, Cleveland, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1870 September 20

Having written to Purcell yesterday he will be brief in answering Purcell's letter of the 18th. The scandals spoken of by Mr. Robinson exist only in his imagination, and if laymen keep within their sphere the scandals spoken of will not have a wider range. Hannin has not promised to write to Rome and Robinson's object is to find out what he intends to do. What he knows he will explain to Purcell and any action will be in accordance with Purcell's instructions. "That you cannot correspond with him on such a subject" is just the answer for Robinson. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 1pg. 8vo.
