Boff, Father F.M. Vicar General, Cleveland, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 January 13

Since their school property has been taxed this year as well as heretofore, the priests are unwilling to share expenses of the law suit before the Supreme Court of Ohio. He asks Purcell's advice in the matter. He intended to visit Purcell after New Year's, but was stricken with severe fever, from which he has not completely recovered. They have been obliged to put an injunction on the sale of most of the school property of Cleveland. P.S. They have written to the Auditor of State regarding the decision of the Supreme Court and he has always referred them to the County Auditor of Cuyahoga Co., who refuses to exempt their schools from taxation. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
