Murray, Father Patrick B., Alpena, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 March 6
Scope and Contents
Replying to Lefevere's letter of February 15, Murray informs him that he has insured the church and the rectory for $3,000, exclusive of all movables. He should have insured for more, but money seems scarce and the percentage too high. As regards Gelos Potvin's letter to Lefevere. Murray can prove it a missive of lies. Murray read it from the pulpit with other letters which contradict his accusations to Lefevere. The late saintly but too innocent Bishop Frederic Baraga bought the church property from him without getting a deed. Murray got the deed only two years ago, with difficulty. Murray does not fault Potvin as much as his father-in-law, O'Neil, from Canada. Murray never said he was stationed there for life; he is at the bishop's disposal. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
