Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

Weikamp called on Father N. L. Sifferath with Mr. Roberts who lives in the house near the church. He asked him when he would leave the house; Sifferath asnsered "Never." Weikamp replied he would have to inform Lefevere of the fact. Sifferath however, handed over the keys to the church and sacristy. Weikamp observed some infidels, Protestants and nominal Catholics are influencing Sifferath. He asks Lefevere to take the necessary steps to save him from embarrassment. P.S. On reflection Wiekamp suggests no legal steps be taken at present; given time Sifferath may change his views. In case legal steps are taken, a formal complaint must go before the Probate of Circuit Court; the local Justice of Peace has no jurisdiction. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
