Joos, Father Edward, Monroe, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 July 23

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

The man who wrote Lefevere a letter some days ago is a son of very good parents but married a Methodist before a squire in Ypsilanti, Michigan. His wife now says she wishes to become a member of the Church and he wishes to be admitted again. Pride makes him afraid of making public satisfaction. This made him write to Lefevere that he might be dispensed from coming to the railing to ask pardon. Sister Egidia left the Community Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary last Tuesday as a secular. Father John de Neve has not answered his letter but will no doubt come. On that occasion it would be well to have the election in form and renew the vows of everyone. On his return from Milan, Michigan Joos found a letter from Father Desiderius Callaert who had started for Detroit stating that the servant girl, being crazy or mean, would have to leave or he would leave. Joos has heard talk in town about drinking and groceries. Mr. Preis told in the convent that he would go to Detroit. Joos does not interfere but he has spoken about it to Reverend W. If a letter from Lefevere does not bring any change, scandal might follow. Lefevere is to keep these matters to himself. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
