Guinane, John, Jackson, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1861 January 20

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Guinane resents Lefevere's unwarranted attack on his character as contained in Lefevere's letter of the 17th . The transfer of his property to Lefevere and Father Cornelius Moutard was made under the influence of strong liquor conveyed to his house for the purpose of making him drunk; at that time his wife was insane from the effects of sickness, Guinane considers Lefevere's letter as a repetition of the degraded character Lefevere gave of him and of the whole congregation in the Catholic Church of Jackson. Lefevere requested him to name some more reputable person than he to write. He names Governor Blair, Judge Johnston or John Connoly. Guinane thinks himself as reputable as any man in Jackson. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
