Macro, Father Martin, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1860 July 4
Scope and Contents
An old father, T Dekeunink, who lost his left foot under a mowing machine, died July 2, fortified by the last sacraments. Marco's Germans do not support him; he cannot beg for sustenance. After so many sacrifices for the success of Grand Rapids, after being in trouble more than any other priest of the diocese for the happiness of a place, so discredited and evil; he is treated in such an ungrateful way. Since his arrival at the Irish parish, Father Pretty Thomas Brady ? hasn't put his foot inside his door. He suffers this contempt very willingly; he has visited him 3 times; he does not know what to think of his education and charity. Disunion in the Irish parish St. Andrew's is greater than ever. Marco expects to come to Detroit in a few weeks. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 4pp. 32mo.
