Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

Concerning building their church a committee, Russell, Murphy, and Marcke, has been appointed by the congregation, they are very suspicious, will not give him their regulations but will take them to Lefevere. The congregation says they should first go to their pastor; if he disapproves, he should consult the bishop, all the different nations are very well united; so the wishes of the people are that money should go to the pastor so nothing be lost. He asks Lefevere to tell the committee to build the church a hundred and thirty by sixty feet. About the letter of Ecorse, Michigan, he is going to vindicate Lefevere's honor in writing to the Archbishop John Baptist Purcell; they tell too many falsehoods. He is against the rumor that those who pay the most for building the new church want to have a free pew for a year; he is against if for once the church is built a lot of debts will be left to worry the pastor. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
