Schreiner, Father Lawrence, Ferrysburg, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 August 3
Scope and Contents
Is the commandment of the Church not to marry without a priest to be kept under very great difficulties? He asks for authority in such a case in the northernmost parts of his mission where he calculates to go after a few weeks. He also asks for permission for Mary Haughy and James O'Hanlon who wish to be married although the death of Mary's former husband has not been ascertained. Schreiner also asks some help from the collections made for the Propagation of the Faith so that they could finish the church in Ferrysburg. From Lefevere's last letter he saw that Lefevere supposed him to be a liar for complaining about not being supported as he had paid $300 for land. Wright subscribed $85, Berlin $142, Muskegon nothing, Grand Haven not more than $50. Only Wright has paid. The $30 left with Lefevere for a horse is to be left until he can find a way of getting a horse. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
