Murray defends himself from the accusations of Peters contained in his letter to Bishop Frederic Baraga. Murray in quoting Peters' letter uses red ink. In it Murray is suspected of indulging in strong drinks. When Mrs. Smith handed Peters a note he told her "Father Murray is a nuisance to the Church and the Bishop does not want him to collect in Detroit." Lefevere had given Murray permission to collect in Holy Trinity but Murray will not use it. But on request he will give a lecture about the 1st of October in Detroit. Murray expresses surprise at Peters' words, especially from a pastor of Holy Trinity. ` A.L.S. Copy 2pp. 8vo. :: III-2-j A.L.S., A.L.S. Copy 3pp. 12mo. and 8vo.
