Van Erp, Father Francis J., Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 July 25

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Van Erp had promised to write Lefevere immediately after his return to Grand Rapids. He can not give a favorable report. The fire of opposition continues equally fierce among some. If Lefevere visits Grand Rapids, he should come on a Saturday to afford him time to find who are the ringleaders. The majority and the respectable are on the right side. Mrs. King did not write the letter but she wished him to tell Lefevere. It is reported that Father Hugh Quigley is suspended, and that he lies dangerously ill at the hospital because of bad treatment by the congregation. Because they are so few, the opposition take desperate means to excite the people. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
