Pierz sends Lefevere a receipt for the teacher Margeret Kabegijigokive whom he paid last January. Pierz paid the teachers of the private schools, but he did ask them for the receipts, since it is not necessary to send any report to the government. In case Lefevere wants them Pierz will send them. In Mackinac he is in a good health and he is well treated. The people in Mackinac are well satisfied with Pierz, since they come to church every night. Everybody goes to confession here and at La Pointe. When Father A. Van Pamel came to pay a visit he came with some Irish Catholics and spent Easter. Father Andrew Piret was very hard on the people at Mackinac. That was all right, because his successor does not have such a hard time with the savages. The winter is still very cold and windy, and the snow and ice very thick. Pierz asks a new priest for Mackinac since the mission cannot stay without any priest. He reminds Lefevere that the priest should know English because there are many Irish. Since Lefevere is leaving after Easter for the council of Baltimore, Pierz asks him to send the letter of recommendation from the Bishop of his country which Pierz gave to Rese 16 years ago. He needs the paper to present it to the Bishop Joseph Cretin . He also asks Lefevere to send what is left of his salary. He still has to pay a $3 debt and the price of the bells of Cheboygan. Pierz thanks Lefevere for the great favors and the treatment he has received in Lefevere's diocese. He hopes that Lefevere will let him go willingly and with his benediction. Cretin in his diocese needs more priests than Lefevere because Lefevere has a well organized clergy. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
