Van Gennip, Father John, Alpena, Michigan, to Mr. Ernest Van Dyke, Detroit, Michigan, 1876 March 3

 Item
Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Van Gennip has received a letter from Mother Gertrude in reference to an offer he made to St. Anthony's Asylum. He will make the conditions clear to Van Dyke. If he collects the two notes he holds against Jeremiah O'Connor of Wayne, Michigan, he will make a donation of $1000 to the asylum provided the whole amount is collected, and that free of charge. Van Gennip will pay Van Dyke's travelling expenses. Henry will have to see Jerry and perhaps lay hold of his goods in the store. Van Gennip doesnot insist O'Connor should pay immediately provided he satisfies Henry with ample security. Henry is not to be deceived by Jerry's talk as he will promise a great deal but will fail to keep his word. Henry is to make certain of O'Connor if the orphans and Van Gennip are not to lose. The whole of the money belongs to the poor for whom Van Gennip held it in trust. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
