Timon, John, Bishop of Buffalo, Rochester, New York, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1851 September 7
Scope and Contents
He finds that the unruly Germans of different parts of the Union strive to band together for their work of rebellion. From Trinity Church of Philadelphia and from Detroit, letters of encouragement are sent to the rebels of St. Louis Church, Buffalo . These again write to Germans of St. Peter's Church in Rochester to urge them to resist authority. By the blessing of God, the affairs of St. Louis Church are so arranged that in a short time all things indicate a complete triumph. Things there are now taking precisely the turn they took in Detroit. There were no trustees, a factious band organized who sued for a deed and possession and obtained an injunction on pew rents, etc., which was revoked. In all things relating to this case so similar to Lefevere's own, they will follow the prudent and successful course he pursued. He begs the Bishop to send him a transcript or copy of the most important texts from Canon Law which he used during the suit. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
