Whipple, I.H.M.,Sister Mary, Vienna, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 June 10

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Not having received an answer to her letter of a fortnight ago and as things are getting worse, she is obliged to intrude on Lefevere's patience. Father Edward Joos has insinuated to Lefevere that she has been influenced, and has influenced others in this affair which is not the case. If she has appeared to contradict herself, it is due to circumstances which she did not foresee and she has not the gift of seeing into the future. Unable to accede to Lefevere's propositions, she considers herself a member of the Community Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary only as long as her vows bind her. Peace of soul is lost, her salvation is in danger; as she is now, she is neither a religious or a secular, she therefore asks a dispensation from her vows. She hopes that his letter will not share the fate of the former; it is confidential. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 32mo.
