Taylor, J.R., East Saginaw, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1865 June 26

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Necessity compels Taylor to lay the school matter before Lefevere. Two weeks ago a committee was formed to raise money and purchase the house and lot in the rear of the church. $1100 was subscribed. The Committee authorized Taylor to buy the property at $1450. Yesterday at another meeting Father Remigius Van Der Heyden became mad and acted unbecoming as a pastor, saying that the church and school could not be built at the same time notwithstanding they raised in cash all but $226. Taylor promises to have the school ready for September 1 and a priest, with business experience, one like Father Jacobs, must manage the school. If Father Van der Heyden is allowed to remain here, Taylor will return subscriptions and keep the property for himself. Subscriptions will be withheld, also the deed, until Taylor hears from Lefevere. ` P.S. Lefevere's painting is completed from which they hope to get enough to furnish the Sisters' house. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
