Beerhorst, Father Henry, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866 March 19

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

The school house is too small for the large number of children; in spring and summer the number will be 150 to 170, too many for one teacher. Beerhorst suggests that Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary from Monroe be hired. $1500 to $1700 will have to be raised. Shall he first clear the schoolhouse lot of debt before enlarging the school house? A house for the Sisters must be rented and furnished. Parents, although ignorant themselves, are anxious to have their children well educated; they send them to school and to Mass every morning. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
