Pourret, Father Francis Xavier, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 December 20

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

The receipt of Lefevere's letter of December 17 scared Pourret a little but he supposes it is Bishop Armand Francois M. de Charbonnel of Toronto who wants him to give up the deed of the schoolhouse Pourret built at his own expense. For peace sake he sends it to Lefevere to transfer to Charbonnel. The schoolhouse cost him $450. He told M. Koch to write the trustees to pay him back $200 which Pourret intended to give towards the establishment of the Sisters. Should that thing of importance Lefevere wants to communicate be anything else, Pourret is not afraid. Lefevere has a letter telling of a fault of which he was guilty four years ago. He hopes to atone for the punishment due to it. Pourret will visit Lefevere on December 26. P.S. Should the deed be all the satisfaction required, Lefevere is to let him know before he starts; if it has not been asked, Lefevere is to keep it. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
