Allgayer, Father Ferdinand, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 October 2
Scope and Contents
Allgayer answers Lefevere's letter of September 30, reprimanding him for not attending a sick Irish woman because Allgayer had no conveyance to take him to Alpine. Father Joseph? Kindekens had refused to go, and advised Allgayer not to go. Lefevere had advised him that if the people in outstations did not furnish a conveyance to go on sick calls, the pastor was not bound to go. The Germans always provide a carriage and support their pastor and church, but the Irish, without a single exception, in the missions, say they are too poor to do so while they have plenty of means to drink whiskey to excess and that frequently. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
