Steinhauser, Father John G., Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1857 February 26
Scope and Contents
There are over 200 persons desirous to receive Confirmation. Steinhauser will try to prepare them but he foresees trouble for religion is not flourishing there. He is destitute and the people seem to care little about it. The money he got in the beginning did not even come up to the expectations of Father Edward Van Paemel . He pays $7.00 a week for board and if he takes a horse to go on mission they charge an exorbitant price for it. He has to try hard to get his $7.00 for board and besides must get them to build his house and finish the church. If he had a horse so that he could go to his missions it would give him some money. If he stays he will be forced to call upon Lefevere for his support. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
