Kindekens, Father Peter, Adrian, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1865 September 19

Kindekens is just able to leave his bed since last Friday. He labored hard and faithfully during 25 years, journeyed to Europe six times at Lefevere's request, and has otherwise never traveled ten miles for his own pleasure. He now asks for one year to travel and to rest to test his doctor's advice that it would add ten years to his life. He asks Lefevere to send him a receipt of the money he sent him by Father Jacobs. Unable to send an inventory of church goods, he has placed them in the church and sacristy where the "little Administrator" of the temporalities can take an inventory. He may just as well do that than be running all over creation. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
