He has received a letter from the AbbotLuke Wimmer, O.S.B. of the Benedictines who said it was impossible to supply priests for the LawrenceburghTennessee settlement. He has also had a letter from Father JosephDwenger, of the Fathers of the Precious Blood who says his Provincial would probably send priests and sisters to Lawrenceburgh. He refers Feehan to Purcell. He is anxious to invite them to come and as soon as possible. He would like for Purcell to write a line saying what he thinks of this. :: II-5-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
