Kindekens was surprised on arriving in Adrian to find the buildings in bad condition. He was inclined to blame his brother, Father Joseph Kindekens but he was soon convinced that since the division of the mission his revenue could not meet his expenditures. They have put in $400 to $600. The mission at Adrian is not too small and poor to leave to the care of Father Peter Warlop. Kindekens can think of no good reason for his brother being changed to Adrian and can only think it was done to make room for him. He does not wish to supplant anyone and certainly not his own brother after inducing him to abandon his mission at Flint to come to Adrian. There is not enough work for Kindekens in a congregation of 150 families. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
