Pourret was very welcome on his return from the retreat. He got $75 in pew rent. A great many seem to be sorry for what occurred. It will be a hard place for some time because of the scandal not long ago. It is the advice of several clergymen, among them Father Francis Van Erp and Father Joseph Kindekens that one priest could have charge of the city and another of the country missions. At present Father Rievers will attend Burlin if Lefevere approves; Grattan and Cascade are hardly able to support him. On week days Pourret attends Talmage . If some one can be sent to Grand Haven and Muskegon, they think all will be right. Whatever blame was thrown to Lefevere by some unfortunate members, they cast it upon Father Van Erp. Father Martin Marco is well. They visit each other frequently. P.S. Not a word is said about an Irish priest as long as there is only one here. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. 12
