Charbonnel, S.S., Armand Francois, Bishop of Toronto,, Ontario, Canada, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1851 April 15
Scope and Contents
Charbonnel asks Lefevere's pardon for having postponed a duty he should have performed long ago. He hopes Lefevere will have pity on a novice and inexperienced bishop. He thanks God for having placed him in the midst of models and he longs to become acquainted with Lefevere as he has with Bishop John Timon, C.M. of Buffalo, New York. Carbonnel hopes to meet Lefevere in Detroit when he goes to visit Sandwich, Ontario, Canada and vicinity. He intends to be there at the end of June and during July after which they will have their first provincial council in Quebec, Ontario, August 15. He asks Lefevere to act with all his faculties, at least those common to all bishops of that country, toward his diocese and confers the same powers to Lefevere's clergy as he likes. He will always feel thankful for whatever spiritual boon Lefevere grants his people. He will be indebted for some of Lefevere's holy oils for those priests who find it more convenient to apply to Lefevere than to Toronto. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
