Delbaere, Father Henry, Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866 January 23
Scope and Contents
Delbaere is living in the priest's house; Father J. T. Stephens left it at 4 A.M. the eve of the Epiphany. Lefevere had told Delbaere that all the furniture belonged to the house, but nearly all worth taking was gone—even the pigeons! John Clancy has the pew books. A collection was made in the Church for Stephens, and the committee brought it to him in Detroit. They intended to petition Lefevere not to remove Stephens, but Stephens dissuaded them, saying that Lefevere was engaged with Bishop John Timon . Stephens as soon as he gets well will go South and return to Ann Arbor at the end of February. Last Thursday on arrival, Delbaere met Father Edward Van Paemel at Donneley ; he had just performed the funeral service for Connel Galliger, acolyte of the church. Miss Chanon, organist, will prepare meals when he needs them. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
