He writes about the Redemptorists' house in Detroit, and their mission in Monroe. In 1856 recourse was had by the Vicar General Peter Kindekens of the Detroit Diocese stating that the Redemptorists should resume the Monroe Station and retain the Detroit house. Mauron answered him, giving reasons for relinquishing Monroe, and describing their quarrels with Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere of Detroit. If Barnabo were favorable to them, they would retain the house in Detroit under certain conditions, one of which would be freedom not to resume the burden of the Monroe Mission. Kindekens agreed to this under the condition that the congregation stay in Detroit. The Archbishop of Baltimore Francis Patrick Kenrick would act as arbitrator on the matter to whom Kindekens agrees. The other condition which Mauron presented to Barnabo was not so easily acceptable, and still other conditions were not fulfilled, yet for the sake of peace, the Fathers were never withdrawn. Mauron asks that the Detroit and Monroe cases be considered as one, and not separated. A.L.S. Enclosure:
