Father Francis Gouesse, C.S.C., is at Vincennes to offer his services; he has revealed the reason for leaving Detroit; his objections are insurmountable; if he is not received, he will go East where an offer is open in case he does not return to Detroit. Gouesse has been sent to Indianapolis to await a reply from Lefevere; there he holds an assistant's job. St. Palais will not hold him against Lefevere's wishes in spite of the fact that he never received from him any other paper than the transfer of him to Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., and that he was ordained by the Bishop of Vincennes under the title of the mission, that Gouesse will not consent to be sent alone in a mission. If Lefevere will not consent that he live in Indiana, he will not return to Detroit but will leave Vincennes. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
