  Fr. Provincial is making a retreat, and he asked Lancaster to write to Goldsborough to thank him for the invitation. The charges against Mr. Tuffer have disturbed the provincial, and he intends to remove him. Rev. J. Powers will not be appointed to St. Joseph's because he has already been assigned to another mission. Lancaster thinks that the charges against Tuffer are exaggerated. Mr. Jones is well. Lancaster hears that Goldsborough and his wife plan to visit Blossom Point in June. He will meet them there if possible.

  Burke sends information about having divine service in Easton. Fr. Gross will say Mass and preach at the appointed time. Since Mr. May will probably have many visitors, it might be better if Gross stayed with Goldsborough. Goldsborough need not worry about vestments.

  Once a church is built in Easton there will be a regular revenue arising from the rental of pews. Gross even foresees the day when Easton will have a resident pastor. He fears that if the building of the church is put off for too long the whole enterprise may fail. Gross asks Mrs. Goldsborough to give his views to Mr. Goldsborough. If Mr. Goldsborough accepts them, Gross will write instantly to Mr. May to make him the proposals. If both Mr. May and Mr. Goldsborough accede to this view, Gross will make an appeal for support on his next visit. Gross is concerned about Mr. Goldsborough's poor health. Mr. Goldsborough is not a Catholic, and Gross urges Mrs. Goldsborough to do what she can for her husband's spiritual welfare. Should Mrs. Goldsborough see Mrs Pascault, she is to tell her that Gross will stop to enjoy her hospital ty on Sunday, the 21st of February. Gross asks Mrs. Goldsborough how she likes Mr. Dietz.

• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0310
  On his return from Easton, Gross wrote to Mrs. H. May, but he has not yet had a reply. He will write shortly to Mr. H. May. Gross met Mr. Hooper and Mr. Kemp at Clora's Point, and they promised him every assistance. One of Gross' friends drew up plans for the new church building, and a builder will simply have to follow them. Concerning the deed to the plot of land, Gross asks Goldsborough to insert words to the effect that when the sum he has expended is refunded the title will be transferred to the Church. Gross hopes that the sick in Goldsborough's family are well. He will be visiting Easton on the 19th. Since the 20th is Palm Sunday, he asks Goldsborough to have Frank Dietz cut some cedar or pine branches. He asks Mrs. Goldsborough to prepare the two servants of whom he spoke to her for their first Communion.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0328
  Gross send the plans for the proposed church by Tommy. Gross received a letter from Mrs. May promising assistance. Tommy told Gross that several Irishmen offered their free labor. Gross asks Goldsborough to close the deal for the purchase of the land. The offer of the Irishmen confirms Gross' plans to ask Mr. May to supply the lumber. Gross thanks Goldsborough and requests him to lay out the money for the lot which will be repaid through sale of cemetery plots.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0411
  Goldsborough's last letter was very pleasing to Gross, and Gross agrees that it would be well to publish in the Sun. Gross reminds Goldsborough of the change in the steamboat schedule.

• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0420
  Gross asks Goldsborough for the price of bricks in Easton. Gross arrived from Baltimore last night. He saw Mr. and Mrs. May. They ardently urged the plan of the Cape May Church. Mr. Roach thinks it can be put up for the same amount. Gross is pleased with the success of Mrs. May. She has written the priest at Cape May for the plans, and she will show them to Goldsborough when he visits Baltimore. Gross includes $7.00 donated by a friend for the new church.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0503
  In passing through Baltimore on his way from Frederick, Gross called on Mr. and Mrs. May. Their collections have not been going well. Gross will bring $44.00 on his next visit. Mr. and Mrs. May had not received the plans from the Cape May Church, but Mr. May drew a sketch which Gross will bring. Nor have the May's heard from Mr. Thompson. As far as the lot is concerned, both Mr. May and Gross think that Goldsborough ought to purchase it. On his next visit Gross would like to bring along a fellow lector. He asks Mr. Goldsborough to tell his wife that hehas some hymns.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0518
  Gross is sending the new plans. He fears that the building may be expensive and thinks it would be better to submit the plans first to those who are to undertake its erection. Gross hopes Goldsborough will make his proposed trip to Baltimore. Having the plans, it would be well to call immediately on the subscribers. He asks Goldsborough to request Mrs. May to write to Mr. Thompson to this effect. If Goldsborough sees Mr. Hooper, he is to ask him to send what he has been able to collect. Gross asks Goldsborough whether it might be advisable to publish the proposals for the church. He sends his respects to Mrs. Goldsborough and to Hon. H. May.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0709

• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0715
  The late raid of the Confederates has caused the steamboat to discontinue service for a while, so Gross willnot be able to make his monthly visit.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0721
  Gross is glad to hear that Goldsborough succeeded in obtaining the lot. The laws of the diocese require the deed to be taken out in the name of the archbishop. Mr. May will know what legal terms to use for this. Annapolis was in a state of turmoil, and priests were being harassed for not taking up arms.
• CZCC /2 Letter : W.H. Gross to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0912
  Gross is glad to note the change of routes for the boat. Gross will come on Saturday; he will not be accompanied by another father. He has some plans that will aid the erection of the church.
• CZCC /2 Letter : T. Enright to Howes Goldsborough 1864/0923
  Rev. F. Gerdemann has informed Enright that Goldsborough has procured for Rev. Gross a free ticket for the boat. Rev. F. Henning lost the ticket. Since Enright will probably be sent to Easton instead of Rev. F. Classens, Enright would appreciate it if Goldsborough would send him a similar ticket.

• CZCC /2 Letter : Joseph Helmpraecht to Howes Goldsborough 1864/1102
  Helmpraecht wishes Goldsborough good health. He expected to see Tomi when on board the Kent last Saturday; but, not seeing him, Helmpraecht had to send his not without a stamp. The barrels that Helmpraecht sent did not cost him anything. The apples can wait until December, but Helmpraecht would like some sweet potatoes, cabbages and turnips now. Rev.

Provincial has arrived, and he has decided to send another priest, Fr. Rathke, to Easton. Enright asks Goldsborough to procure a boat ticket for Rathke since Mr. Cannon's clerk does not wish to give any more complimentary tickets this year. Fr. Gerdemann has received his ticket. The letter Goldsborough sent Enright from Col. Preston was an inquiry for information concerning possible relatives of a deceased comrade, James Lloyd. Lloyd was originally from there.

He promises to give Lancaster timely enough notice so that Goldsborough will be able to be present. Since Judge Merrick made an agreement to go on an electioneering tour, the case may not be tried until November. Should it be called sooner, Gen. J.L. Brent will attend to it instead of Merrick.

• CZCC /5 Folder : Howes Goldsborough Correspondence 1871-1874
• CZCC /5 Letter : Thomas Becker to Mrs. Goldsborough 1871/0412

• CZCC /5 Letter : John Baptist Meurer to Howes Goldsborough 1871/09
  Meurer did not write sooner because he has been very busy with sick calls and has been in a bad mood. Meurer is well, but Fr. MacCattee is sick. The labor in Port Tobacco is too much for only two priests. The people do not support the priests, and the priests have to suffer many hardships. Meurer will write again as time permits.
• CZCC /5 Letter : John Baptist Meurer to Howes Goldsborough 1871-1872

Gerard Pilz, OSB.
• CZCC /5 Letter : John Baptist Meurer to Howes Goldsborough 1872/0409
  Meurer thanks Goldsborough for his kind words. Meurer had a slight attack of pneumonia, and he was taken care of by Mrs. Floyd, who lives in a house where General Washington used to stop whenever he was on his way home. Miss Nora Jarboe came there to visit him. There have been several deaths in the congregation but no smallpox. On March 7 the engine whistled for the first time on the railroad of Charles Co. The three days darkness that has been predicted has aroused many people. Meurer sees this as one of a series of portents: Mazzini had died without destroying the Church; Victor Emmanual will soon get his reward. Meurer sends his respects to Mrs. Goldsborough and to Miss Ellen. He asks Goldsborough to get him some snap-beans to plant and send them to him through Messrs. W.A. Padgett and Co. Miss Nora Jarboe will receive a letter from him shortly.

• CZCC /5 Letter : C.C. Lancaster to Howes Goldsborough 1874/1114
  Lancaster has been searching records. Fr. John Lewis died in 1788 leaving all his property to Fr. Robert Molyneux, and the latter gave over 207 acres of land in 1793 to the Corporation of the Roman Catholic Clergymen. Fr. James Walton, the heir of Fr. Mosely, gave over 147 acres. The corporation should still have all the land save for the 23 acres sold to William Callaghan by Fr. Powers. If any more land was sold, it should be recorded at Easton. From a letter received from Mr. Foley, it seems that Fr. Gubitosi misunderstood the Bishop with regard to having the land appraised. Lancaster sends his respects to Mrs. Goldsborough.

  Sourin has made known Goldsborough's desire to Fr. Superior, but it does not seem that Sourin will soon be permitted to visit Eastern Shore again. There are rumors of another priest's being appointed to share Fr. Henehy's work. Sourin offers Goldsborough some words of encouragement and urges him and Mrs. Goldsborough to receive Communion soon. He sends his respects to Mrs. Goldsborough and to Miss Winter. It would be contrary to the wishes of the Provincial, Fr. Keller, were anyone to come to get Sourin on the 27th to take him to Easton.
