Pierz tells Lefevere that he received the letter of Sept. 18 with $150 check on the Michigan bank. Pierz will send the receipt from Margaret as soon as he is able to cash his check and pay her. Pierz includes the report concerning the school at Little Traverse and of the private schools which he understands Lefevere will have to send to the government. Pierz sends statistics in French concerning the education of the savages. Lefevere should translate and publish them in English, and can make any changes in them he desires. The savages at Little Traverse are building a nice church. It will be completed within 3 or 4 weeks. Two savages and a white man are going to Washington to see if they cannot stay permanently in their place without the fear of deportation. Pierz advised them to ask for a better repartition of the government funds. The government should pay according to the different numbers of missionaries and schools or according to the number of pupils and not according to the religious denominations. In 6 missions they have 3,000 Catholics, while the protestants, Presbyterians and Methodists, in 5 missions have only 300 Christians. Pierz believes that Lefevere should complain of the injustice of such a repartition of the funds. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
