Smeddinck, Father J B _____ ?, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 July 5

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

He uses Lefevere's kind answer to induce Father August Durst to return to the feet of his bishop to obtain pardon and a speedy installation. Durst feels he is not in his vocation, debts worry him and he has objections against what he styles his false brother Confrater. He is doing hard penance. There is danger this may impair his health and mind. Smeddinck asks Lefevere to take some step to facilitate Durst's removal from his missions. Smeddinck is going to Milwaukee for the Retreat, and hopes, there, to hear from Lefevere. If he does not, he will ask his bishop John Martin Henni to be removed from this place. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
