The work is begun and is satisfactory though the congregation is very much divided and lukewarm: the Irish are divided among themselves and opposed to the French; the French despise the Irish; the Germans are like a flock who have had no pastor. With God's help Kundig hopes to see a change before two months have elapsed. The Sixpence Society is established. Kundig visited Furlong's Settlement to make arrangements according to Lefevere's request. The best land of the country is in Catholic hands; within ten miles are about two hundred zealous and pious families. They disagree about the location for the church to be erected. If Lefevere finds it possible to leave him in Milwaukee, Kundig will be ready in about eight or ten weeks to make Father Thomas Morrissey a useful co-laborer in Wisconsin. The whole country is Catholic; one priest cannot hold out an Irishman can do little good in Milwaukee if left alone; but if Kundig is left there, or if Lefevere sends his countryman with Morrissey, a great deal can be done with God's assistance. Kundig acknowledges the will of God in Lefevere's orders. He is just as happy in the midst of woods as in cities. P.S. Should Kundig be allowed to remain, Lefevere is to have Miss Heffernan pack his belongings and send them in care of M. Juneau, Milwaukee. Last Sunday they had in their church new benches, a new sacristy, a place for the singers, and a new altar. Note by Lefevere answered July 18. :: III-2-g
