Piret, Father Andrew, Mackinac, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1852 August 31
Scope and Contents
Piret thinks Lefevere has forgotten the conversation they had about the Protestant schools at Mackinac, Lefevere told him to go to Bertrand, Michigan where he might obtain Sisters of Holy Cross . Piret went to Bertrand and to South Bend, Indiana and obtained Brothers of Holy Cross and Sisters. It was George Wendell who gave his house to the Sisters for a time only and it is Piret who pays the rent for the schools. They have rented a house for the Brothers. If Lefevere buys the Madame Madeline Laframboise house for the Sisters the congregation will try to make a sacrifice for the Brothers. Lefevere is to send the money destined for the Indian schools. If Lefevere confides the school for Indians at Mackinac to the Brothers and Sisters, as the Metis desire, their future will be assured. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
