Kindekens, Father Peter, Adrian, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866 January 8

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Father John G. Ehrenstrasser has told Kindekens how he was persecuted by Father Edward Van Lauwe 's proteges, Kelly, Hayes, and Co., in Adrian. Advised to write Lefevere, Ehrenstrasser said nothing can be done to shake the bishop's good opinion of those men, nor his belief in Van Lauwe who wishes to remain in a city. As soon as Kelly, Hayes and some more heard that a German priest had been appointed pro tem for the Irish congregation, they formed a committee, drew up new regulations to be sent to Lefevere, but did not wait for a placet. Tonight they are to have another meeting to depose Ehrenstrasser and to demand an Irish priest. Kindekens thinks that if they were given charge of handling the money alone, they would quiet down. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
