Pierz writes a letter to give supplementary information concerning the school's report he sent Sept. 9. Since the Indians signed the pledge there is little drinking although a few still do so. Pierz tries hard to stop all Christians from drinking, but there are two drunkards who signed their pledge but still are drinking like Pagans. Pierz threatened them with excommunication. It should be necessary to punish such scandals very energetically for the good of the Catholic Church. Pierz wishes to excommunicate one who refuses to give up drink and another drunkard who insulted publicly Father J.B. Proulx . Furthermore, he believes that some kind of public penance, prayers in front of the cross in the cemetery, would be good for them, as is done in Canada, and he asks permission to treat these drunks that way. Pierz wins the heart of his Indians by kindness and charity and seldom reproves them in church. It is necessary to make them respect their religion and the authority of the Church. Pierz asks for Lefevere's instruction concerning the matter. Pierz received a letter from Archbishop Milde Vienna, notifying him that Vienna sent 160 florens to Lefevere for him. Pierz asks Lefevere to send this money to Bedel and Drew of Mackinac as soon as possible. He also asks for the furnaces he ordered a few weeks ago. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
