When Baraga was in Detroit in the summer of 1862, Lefevere had told him that he had to dismiss a certain Irish priest, Father Michael McLaughlin from Detroit, because of his drunkenness. Baraga received him into his diocese and he behaved very well for 2 or 3 months. But lately he drank whiskey again secretly. Baraga dismissed him immediately not to let it come to a scandal. But as some persons were dissatisfied with this action, he asks Lefevere to give him a written statement about that priest, that he may show it to whom it may concern. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
