Moutard, Father Cornelius, Jackson, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1860 February 19

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Moutard solicits a dispensation for disparity of cult or mixed religion as the case may be. The woman is German Catholic, widowed, dislikes marrying an Irish Catholic and Germans are few. The latest "News of the War" is that of some internal parish affair involving a lady whom Lefevere had denounced and 6 "bogus Bishops"; both parties are having recourse to lawyers. However, the lady, fatigued, has given up but the "bogus Bishops" are not discouraged; it is rumored that another letter has been sent to the Baltimore, "this time". John Guignan is involved against his wife's wishes, Mrs. Letourneau is the object of their infamous talk. Moutard will do nothing without Lefevere's advice; he also expects "something on the papers". He asks in case they go on, the excommunication of all the "bogus Bishops". As there is haste for their marriage he begs the Bishop to hurry up the answer. He is in better health and humour. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
