Knowing Lefevere's feelings towards John Guinan, Moutard thinks it his duty before acting to give Lefevere a statement of what has transpired knowing that Lefevere will never allow a layman to dictate publicly to a congregation in things which belong to the priest. In his letter of Aug. 24 Moutard stated that he has a first rate offer from a Catholic, but as he is no friend of Guinan he says Moutard can sell with "his" permission, as vicar general of Jackson, to any one he has in mind, except to this man. Moutard thinks he should put down this interference for the sake of future priests. He thinks farmers should mind their plowing, and the priest should be master of his church, provided he acts according to the wishes and rules of his bishop. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
