Van der Heyden, Father Remigius, Saginaw City, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1865 February 13

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

He notifies Lefevere of a great disturbance in his congregation. Two or three Germans with Father Henry Schutjes went to Detroit to see Lefevere about getting a German priest, and they claim Lefevere promised them a German priest to officiate in East Saginaw and Saginaw City alternately. They also create disturbance among the Irish and French. If another priest comes, Van der Heyden will leave the place as there is no support for two priests. Hence his only favor from Lefevere is a good recommendation to some bishop. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
