Hannin, Father Edward, Cleveland, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1871 April 5

Hannin sent by express to Purcell the documents concerning the removal of Father J. Daudet . They are lengthy because Hannin thought a full statement necessary. The more Purcell knows Daudet, the more he will be convinced that he was not the man for Newburgh. He wishes Purcell would appoint some prudent person of Purcell's diocese to accompany him on the investigation of the Ursuline Convent . He must inquire into spiritual matters and in the investigation and in case questions are asked, he wants testimony that it was conducted in a proper manner. Purcell can see how fortunate that he has had witness for other matters. Some persons from Father J. Monaghan's parish may visit Purcell complaining against Haninn's prohibition of their erecting a new church. The project was wild and he will explain when he sees Purcell.
