The Indians with the chiefs of the surrounding villages met to arrange priest-support. They agreed to collect about four times as much sugar as he got last spring which was 400 pounds or $45 from here and $5 from Bear River. Each family should give one bushel of corn and one dollar or a little more. He has unpaid debts with Benziger Brothers; had Bishop Frederic Baraga been alive, Zorn would have received $100 for January to July. He was with Father John B. Weikamp for five months before Zorn was ordained and served under him for about 5½ years. Weikamp, having gone to Chicago, asked Zorn to say Mass in Cross Village instead of Duncan, although Father N. L. Sifferath is present. Mr.Beauchamp here said the congregation might be nearly ruined in 2 years as there were many who disliked to go to church in the convent, who dislike Weikamp and like Sifferath. Thus far it seems that an earnest penance does no good to the latter. If Father Ignatius Mrak would become bishop, Sifferath might have a congregation again. Zorn intends to stay two or three days in Cross Village and will give Lefevere information about it. Zorn is informed that a priest came from Lake Superior and resides in Po nt St. Ignace from where Father Andrew Piret was going home. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
