Weninger, S.J. Father Francis Xavier, Oldenburg, Indiana, to Lefevere, Bishop Peter Paul, Detroit, Michigan, 1868 June 24
Scope and Contents
Leaving Grand Rapids, Michigan he sent Lefevere the result of his mission; the case was desperate, forcing him to use all the skill and experience of his 40 years as priest and missionary. Affairs must now be treated in the spirit of justice, charity, and moderation and fortitude. He regrets he had no opportunity to speak with Lefevere. He thinks his way of reconciliation the only practical way; he asks to have Father William Herwig use much kindness and moderation, Weninger knows the German character. Weninger settled with St. Louis Church in Buffalo and with St. Joseph in Covington. Next week he will be at St. Louis University. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
