Yesterday Rievers explained to the French during Mass how things were managed, how the accounts stood -- $700 debts. After Mass some of the best members came and told him they never knew anything about the whole transaction. Mr. Lamontagne said they had just taken the course Rievers stated. They went to Detroit and got the consent of the Bishop to have their priest. They had written to Bishop L. Lafleche, of Three Rivers, who answered that he would send them a priest as soon as possible, which answer Lamontagne read to Rievers as also the petitions sent to Lafleche in which mention was made of Chinniqui Charles Chiniquy. Rievers would be glad if Lefevere would order him or Father William Takken to take all the French but to use the same church would be the ruin of all Catholics in Muskegon. P.S. Takken did not return from the missions. Rievers intends to visit Cascade only with Lefevere's leave. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
