Now he feels that he must write about money. The church lacks many things because it has not received its share of revenue which was at least a third greater than that of the German church which has always reserved over $300 for its priest. The Bishop knows that he has had to pay $40 to $50 for the organ the remainder of the $100 to be paid when he can. He has always had trouble to take care of both congregations and that the expenses have fallen on him even though by chicanery Father John Van Gennip received half without even taking out the money for the organ. Then he did not charge him all the pension he could pay but accepted only $3.00 a week. Then when Van Gennip claimed his share of the potatoes and cabbage he paid him $5.35 for his share. Now there has come a new difficulty about which he asks Lefevere to intervene. After two months instead of paying $3 a month for his keep Van Gennip has offered him only that much for two months. He claims that Joos is unreasonable if he does not deduct the days that he is absent and proposes to pay accordingly. Lefevere can see that this cannot continue. P.S. Lefevere will note that the accord for three dollars a week is $156 a year and that having accepted the least he will accept no diminution for this includes heat, laundry, etc. :: III-2-i A.L.S.
