Joos, Father Edward, Monroe, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 March 31
Scope and Contents
This morning Joos had an important conversation with Sister M. Theresa Maxis . She asked if Lefevere had allowed her to go or not, and on Joos' answering no, she replied she was not astonished since no one is interested in the convent, so she has no confidence in the bishop or Father Peter Hennaert, and asks Joos to write Lefevere for her dismissal. Joos observes that some final disposition must be made lest she destroy the whole institution. Joos suggests that Lefevere should come as soon as possible, and before the other houses join her revolt. The Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are submissive, and Sister Mary Joseph Walker says all are disposed to submit, although they feel affected by the Mother's disappointment. Joos expects Lefevere to come tomorrow. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
