Scope and Contents

They have had a conference with Father ^Lawrence Schreiner of St. Mary's Church and wish to report what took place. 1. For about four weeks they have sought an explanation of why the money subscribed for the steeple and bells was not paid so that they could get fire insurance again on the church and rectory and the debt of Father Ferdinand Allgayer Allgeier paid. ~ Document ~ 2. Last Thursday Schreiner said that he wanted money or his salary. H. Schenkelberg replied there was no money in the treasury; that the pew rent for the first quarter was paid to Allgeier. ` 3. Also when they went to see Schreiner this afternoon he called fickler a liar and ordered them out of the house. At Vespers he gave the order that no one was to pay anything to them until further orders. They must also inform the bishop that Schreiner goes to a saloon and on a Wednesday in Lent ordered and ate meat in a restaurant. They are proscribed and laughed at by the Protestants. They ask Lefevere to investigate himself or at least send them advice on how to handle such a scandal. They ask him to take Schreiner away. ` P.S. Schreiner goes around saying that Allgeier ought to be put in jail. Hauser, Clemens Schenkelberg, Simon Ament and J. Finckler sign. :: III-2-k A.L.S. German 4pp. 4to.
