Cappon, Father John, Niles, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 November 4

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Cappon has $429 for the purchase of a house in St. Joseph, Michigan and hopes for $500 in the collection at his next visit there. Cappon trusts a priest will be sent at Lefevere's earliest convenience. The people there have presented Cappon a house and lot for $900. Cappon suggests that Lefevere advance $400. Cappon will continue to collect to pay for the loan, and should a priest be settled there, the borrowed money would be returned in a very short time. As many in St. Joseph are Germans and all in Bainbrige a German-speaking priest is desirable. A young man in Ireland would like to study to be a priest in the Detroit Diocese. His parents, due to hard times in Ireland, are unable to provide him with means. This young man has contacted Cappon because Cappon has spoken in all his missions of the American College Louvain. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
