Pierz, Father Francois, Mackinac, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1850 September 9
Scope and Contents
Pierz says that in his mission the savages fear an epidemic of small-pox. It is for this reason that Pierz had to come to Mackinac to get the serum to vaccinate them. But here in Mackinac there is not any good serum. Consequently, Pierz asks Lefevere to send him the drug and he will pay him out of his salary. This is very urgent. At the same time Pierz asks Lefevere to give him an answer to his last letter and to send him some money through the Bank in Michigan. Indeed, he needs the money to pay the school teachers and the expenses of his trips from mission to mission. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
