Wermers requests faculties to validate an attempted marriage before a Justice of the Peace. He gets along pretty well with the congregation. They have promised some furniture for the priest's home. Wermers will send an inventory of church and priest's house equipment. Want of time prevents any report on the cemetery. He takes special interest in the Catholic school. There are 2 schools, 2 female teachers, and 170-180 children. More comfortable schoolhouses and more competent teachers would soon raise the number of children to 300. Mr. Massenbrock is under instructions. Wermer's only real trouble has been over the disposition of $600 raised by a fair for the orphans. The parish committee gave this money to the Mother Superior Mother Angela McKey of St. Bridget who gave $500 of it to John Godfroy and got a receipt for it in her own name against the rules for the administration of temporal affairs, #26-1-5. She intends to acquire with this money, and the further assistance of the Congregation, a property and house for her self. :: III-2-k A.L.S. Latin and English 4pp. 12mo.
