McKey, Mother Angela Joseph, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1861 November 5
Scope and Contents
A "deputy of men" called on her by Father Thomas Brady's directions to ask her to give up all the money collected by the people by picnics and excursion. She told them the excursion money was "out at interest," and so quite safe; it is to be used to make a first payment when a house is bought for them the Sisters of St. Bridget. The other money went to pay rent and other expenses that a rented house entails. Unsatisfied, the men remarked, "Father Brady will give this and his own report on Sunday to the Congregation." A second group of men sent by Brady has tried to collect the excursion money, about $40. She has been told, if she does not return the money, the same amount will be taken from her out of her salary allowance from the church fund. ` P.S. She has rented another house according to his instructions. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
