The last time Cointet visited St. Joseph, Michigan , about six weeks ago, the body of the church was built and they were about to put in the windows. He begs the Bishop to give him permission to bless it or to invite a confrere to do so. Father Michael Shawe of Vincennes has promised to accompany him to St. Joseph to aid him in the visits he is going to make at Kalamazoo, Nottawa Sepee, Notawasepee , Pawpaw, Berrien, Niles, Michigan, where Shawe will preach. Cointet hopes the blessing can take place on August 24, the day appointed for the next visit. In a post script he asks the same faculty for the church at Kalamazoo if he finds the church built there at his next visit. If Lefevere is absent the letter is addressed to Father Peter Kindekens. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
