Cinc. Feb. 6, 1863
Dear Bp.
I will thank you to send me a statement of the [visi]tations made since last [mond] in order of date. I want particularly to see about the parishes hereabouts & at Cleveland. The Rectors of Trinity, St. Pauls, & St. Johns want a visitation soon after Lent. I do not know whether any meeting took place on Thursday night as to the consideration of the parishes. The snowstorm was such that I could not go in & I have not been in town since, or seen anybody to tell me. Mr. Britton has been called to the Rectorship in [Chillicothe] & he notified me of his acceptance. I wish [Newbold] could go to Delaware.
Yours affectionately,
C. P. McIlvaine
