Jeffers, M., East Saginaw, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1865 July 1
Scope and Contents
The correspondence with Father Remigius Van der Heyden, and Colonel J.R. Taylor in regard to the purchase of the house and, lot in the rear of the church, has come to Jeffers' attention. The church, still requires a steeple and bell, underpinning, a fence and sidewalk at, an estimated cost of $1500. Since Van der Heyden was busy collecting, money for the new church in Saginaw City, members of the, congregation in East Saginaw took it upon themselves to raise means to, finish the church and to raise money for the house and lot. Some think, the house should be used for Sisters to care for a school. Taylor has, already signed a contract to buy the house and lot. Should the deed be, made out to Lefevere or Van der Heyden? Mr. Ward is willing to, advance $690 and take mortgage on the property. The church, committee fully accedes to church authority; the difficulty is one of, misunderstanding and can easily be explained. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
