 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Their church is nearing completion. Martin is anxious to get a priest among them. He wanted to propose the plan to Father Edward Van Paemel before he was called away. The workman who built the church was paid a little over $400 and there would be due him about $250 if he would finish the church. Frank Floczynski Flozinsky is to build the church in the best and strongest manner. Because of the distracted condition of the members, Martin has taken the building in hand and made himself responsible to pay the workman for the above amount and furnish material from $50-$100. Martin has lived in Grand Rapids for 15 months, has five children and feels the necessity of church and school. At present he is in the grocery and provision business. P.S. The church will be finished about August 20. They will try to sustain a priest if Lefevere will give them one. About $200 due Mr. Richman is unpaid as yet. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
