Lefevere, Bishop Pierre Paul, Detroit, Michigan, to Bishop Charles Francis Baillargeon, Quebec, Canada, 1865 June 1
Scope and Contents
Lefevere acknowledges Baillargeon's letter of May 26 about the Memoir which Father Bruyère sent to Baillargeon. For a long time Lefevere has been aware of the deplorable condition of the Diocese of Sandwich Ontario due to the bad administration of its Bishop Pierre Adolphe Pinsonneault btu prudence suggested silence, believing that the Bishop of the same Province would inform Baillargeon or the Holy See. But now that the Vicar General has taken the initiative in sending the memoir, Lefevere's conscience frankly admits all that Bruyère reports in his memoirs, all unfortunately true, no exaggeration, and Lefevere can in conscience bear witness to all charges. The sooner the Holy See is informed and acts the better for spiritual affairs even more than temporal. :: III-2-k A.L.S. Draft French 2pp. 8vo.
