A priest's greatest enemies are those of his own house. Although Hennessy had written to Ireland a most exaggerated account of the missions in order to hinder any "hankering" his family may have had about America, his father came unexpectedly last Saturday and accused him of ingratitude. He suggested that his father go on to Illinois or Iowa but when his father cried he suggested that he go to the Rapids as the farthest point. His father has gone to the Rapids to buy a farm or two. His father has means to Provide for the family but there are five brothers and who will guarantee their good conduct always? Hennessy would regret to leave Lefevere's diocese but would rather do so than to force them to go or wait for trouble. He has decided to devote himself to the missions and will not family troubles arise to distract or perhaps bring censure on him? He thinks it best to move away. However, he will leave the whole matter in the hands of Lefevere. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
