Identifier: CDET III-2-h

Scope and Contents

Lefevere will be surprised at these lines but it is something so important and which concerns Benoit so closely. Father Louis Gillet, C.S.S.R., formerly at Monroe, Michigan, founder of the Oblates Sisters of Providence and Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, has just been sent to succeed Benoit at Fort Wayne. Benoit claims that Gillet has been accused of drunkenness during Benoit's absence and that he has heard that Gillet had to leave Monroe because of misconduct. Benoit asks if this is so. Benoit will not leave to such a religious the care of a community where he has worked for 19 years and where there are 7 Sisters of Providence of St. Mary's of the woods. P.S. He asks Lefevere to give him an answer as soon as possible. He will remain at Fort Wayne for three weeks more. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
