Mrak, Bishop Ignatius, Marquette, Michigan, to Father Peter Hennaert, Detroit, Michigan, 1869 September 13
Scope and Contents
Hennaert asked whether Father Nicholas Louis Sifferath belonged to Mrak's diocese and now Father Patrick B. Murray has asked him for an exeat of this diocese. Mrak thinks this affair was settled a long time ago; he and the late Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere considered it so, as after the death of Bishop Frederic Baraga, the part of Detroit Diocese where these men are living fell back to Detroit. Father Edward Jacker, at that time administrator of Marquette Diocese, signified it to Lefevere. Mrak soon received the papers and faculties from Detroit and Lefevere wrote him that henceforth he was to look upon the Ordinary of Detroit as his spiritual head. Therefore, Fathers Murray, John B. Weikamp, Sifferath, and Seraphin Zorn belong now to Detroit, and apply to Hennaert for an exeat, etc. If Mrak is not going by Chicago, he will soon see Hennaert at Detroit. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
