Schreiner, Father Lawrence, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 December 30
Scope and Contents
Being urged by Father Joseph Kindekens, Schreiner left for his missions to fix arrangements. The German congregation at Wright is to have one service a month and promised $85; the Irish at Berlin were granted one service a month and promised $142. The mixed and mostly French Congregation at Muskegon does not want a priest. The men are gone for lumber and will not return before summer; the women do not promise any payment. Grand Haven wants services once a month but arrangements could not be fixed there nor in the smaller missions. He asks permission to say 2 Masses on Sundays. He arrived in Detroit from Buffalo $7 in debt and arrived in Grand Rapids with very little money. He has received only $26 from his missions. It is difficult to pay board to Kindekens who insists upon it; Kindekens wants $16 so far. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
