Zorn, Father Ph Seraphim, Little Traverse, Michigan, to Father Peter Hennaert, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 June 14

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

He has received both Hennaert's printed favors concerning the Jubilee and the American College in Rome. He could not collect any money for the latter purpose, but if Hennaert can spare Mass intentions he would take about $10 and give that to the College. For eight days he was with Father Andreas Herbstrit in Eagletown. He was quite satisfied with the Indians and their priests. Could he reside there a year or two, he might bring back many apostates at Grand Traverse Bay and instruct ten or fifteen pagan Indian families. Zorn has taken great pains with the Otawa language, made a great collection of words concerning religion. Bishop Ignatius Mrak, after his sojourn in Mackinac, went to Beaver Island. Indians from Cross Village with Father Nicholas Louis Sifferath went over to see him. A rumor says that that priest was called by the Bishop. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
