Menet, S.J., Father John Baptist, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1853 May 4
Scope and Contents
Menet has just received Lefevere's letter of April 26, saying Lefevere has received his letter of March 9, but it said nothing about what Menet wrote not long ago, and was mailed by the first steamer, the Albany arriving here. He would be mortified if this letter had not reached Lefevere, but perhaps he already has it. Moreover, Father August Kohler, S.J. who leaves for Europe, will see Lefevere on his passing through Detroit, and more, Mr. Barbeau has written Lefevere. As to the draft which Lefevere has sent for Father Frederick Baraga, Menet entrusted it to Kohler to hand to Lefevere with this letter. He has written to Baraga to give notice of it, and as Baraga has written, but too late to retain the two other remittances of money Baraga will see him in the spring at the Sault. Menet has retained the last draft for $195, hoping to give it to him personally. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 1p. 12mo.
