Scope and Contents

Joos has lately spoken to Father Peter Kindekens about the question of support of Father Desiderius Callaert, and has laid before him his views: 1-that a priest should have his allowance; 2-a sum of $100 to $150; 3-a percentage of the fees marriages excepted; 4-his Mass intentions. In the present case if the Mission has a horse and buggy, the priest should have the use of it. Kindekens considered the case very reasonable, only he believes $150 a great deal, but Joos pointed out to him that the fees will not be as great as elsewhere although there will be an increase by the addition of Stony Creek . In short, a priest can reckon on $200 to $225 a year from his allowance. Fees are less mercenary than a determined sum. He wishes to send Lefevere a detailed report of the revenues of every mission. P.S. He regrets Lefevere's and Father Peter Henneart's absence the day of their conference. Father Mary Paul Werle Wehrle is well. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
