Fredet, S.S., Father Peter, Beltimore, Maryland, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1848 September 22
Scope and Contents
Want of time and other circumstances render it difficult for Fredet to answer all questions and give all the desired proofs asked for in the memorial accompanying Lefevere's letter. However he thinks that the questions can be answered sufficiently, as a whole by stating a few leading principles about Church government especially about ecclesiastical property. In the 10 answers which follow Fredet quotes the decrees of the Councils of Baltimore about trustees and also canon law. In a postscript of four pages, Fredet gives references and texts which may be of some service. These answers deal with the Smith vs. Bonhoff case - the St. Mary's Church of Detroit case. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 8pp. 8vo.
