Marco, Father Martin, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1861 August 3

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Marco thanks Lefevere for permission to leave the congregation in Grand Rapids. Last Saturday a stone was thrown through the window, injuring the opposite wall. He defies everyone to prove anything against him. As a priest he forgives his enemies. In quitting Grand Rapids he wishes happiness and prosperity to his enemies, especially for Harley, Finkler and Hake, and for the Germans who persecuted Father Edward Van Paemel, Father Julian? Majiessky Maciejewski?, and himself. For the good of religion Lefevere should leave them without a priest for 3 or 4 months. If he is no longer worthy that Lefevere should hear him, then Lefevere should consider his right to join another diocese. He will carry out this, if Lefevere does not help him. :: III-2-j A.L.S.
