De Montaubricq, Father Adrian, Newport, Michigan, to Father Peter Hennaert, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 April 20
Scope and Contents
On his return from Huron River he received Hennaert's letter of the 15th. It is false that he often takes walks with his housekeeper. What is true and frees him from blame is that in some cases of necessity he took her along to take back his buggy. He does not believe the public out of spite of stupidity could go so far! For such trips there is no one else in the neighborhood whom he can employ, even with money. He has struggled to reduce the cost of maintaining his two churches which has caused opposition among some bad families. Some have formed intrigues with Father Edward Joos . There was no more evil in what he has done than in the neighboring confreres bringing their servants to festivals and a vicar-general bringing his. He accepts with respect Hennaert's warning and shall do all in his power to conform himself in the future. :: III-2-l A.L.S. French 6pp. 12mo.
