Moutard, Father Cornelius, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1857 March 11

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Moutard has just returned from his mission, Gratten, Michigan and found Lefevere's letters. "He", Father W. Quigley , received on these rates $154.00. They told Moutard in Gratten that a few days previous to leaving Gratten, "he" stated from the altar how much he had received. Moutard understands "he" collected at least $40.00 in Gratten and above $60 in the Rapids. "He" gave $12.00 to Mr. Giles but owes Giles more than that. Moutard knows nothing of the money due by Thomas Mallone. "He" pocketed and sold things to which he had no claim, among others $9.00 belonging to the Altar Society. What Talbott has in his possession does not amount to $74.00. "He" is a complete rascal. Moutard has killed him completely in the estimation of the people of Gratten. All Moutard asks is a mission on March 29. He will write to Father Francis Krutil trusting that Lefevere will put Krutil up to the thing. Moutard asks a dispensation from the third degree of relationship for James H. and Mary D. so that they may marry. P.S. He has received the notes but no money. Enclosure:
