He sends an account of revenues and expenses of St. Joseph's Congregation, and an inventory of the church, house and school; also $6 as taxes for dispensation from three publications no enclosure. He asks faculties to absolve from an attempted marriage of a Mrs. Meier. He has Lefevere's letter concerning the cemetery. Father Joseph Kindekens refuses to give him the map and books of the cemetery since Kindekens has not been paid for all his expenses but would write Lefevere about it. Affairs of the Irish congregation are not so good. They are a hard set of people. There are many good families but they are seduced by the leaders, who do not like Ehrenstrasser and even Lefevere. At first, Ehrenstrasser disliked the people over the commons for having a mind to build the church out of the city, but now they are the most obedient; they send their children to school. However, they refuse to subscribe to the schoolhouse since the people in the city say they will pay for it. About 100 children are attending the Catholic school. Father Edward Van Lauwe says there will be a $400 debt on the schoolhouse building. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
