Meuffels, Father Henry, Manistee, Michigan, to Father Peter Hennaert, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 April 23

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

He is thankful for the jurisdiction granted the Reverend gentlemen of Wisconsin. About a dozen letters by and to him have been lost. He desired Hennaert's opinion of a case of a woman who remarried but how cannot prove the death of her first husband. By her second marriage she has several children, hence no hope of separation. Father Stanislaus P. Lalumiere, S.J., can find no evidence that the first husband is living. What is Hennaert's opinion of admitting the couple to the sacraments? He considers nearly impossible that Father Henry Rievers should attend Manistee as they have more than they can attend to. P.S. Meuffels feels much better but has to live on gruel. Hennaert's notation on back of letter: "Was the man in good faith at the time of the marriage? If so, is he still in good faith?" :: III-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
