Joos, Father Edward, Monroe, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 September 16
Scope and Contents
Joos received Lefevere's letter with the article of Father James Hennessy who, he hopes, will bring that sad affair to a happy end. Joos will pray that others may be prevented from taking part in that abominable schism. Joos asks about the boundaries of his missions towards Huron River. It was always understood that the Huron mission included both sides of the river and that Swancreek had been added to Monroe until Father Desiderius Callaert told him that nothing but Brownstown had been added to Wyandotte and that all who live on this side of the river belong to Monroe. This might create difficulties as soon as the bridge is fixed. Should the 25 or 30 families living on this side of the Huron be annexed to Swancreek or be regarded as belonging to Huron and consequently depend on Father Charles L DePreitre . At the convent all seems very well but Sister Gerard is in danger of dying through bilious fever. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
