Mrak has had a letter from Father Mathias Orth, pastor of Mackinaw, who writes that Father Andrew Piret is back again, stopping in Mackinac and going to Sheboygan in Borgess' diocese to say Mass on Sunday. Mrak must tell Borgess what kind of man he is. He was for several years in Mackinaw and Mrak's nearest neighbor and friend. For a long time one heard of scandals, and so also did Bishop Frederic Baraga, but no one believed them until he was finally suspended. Last Sunday Mrak wanted to clarify all this and found more than he heard. He could be put into state prison for life. Mrak let him say Mass once more and today wrote a letter to Father Charles L. Deceuninck at Duncan. Mrak also has Lefevere's reply to his letter. In Baraga's bull he had the Upper Peninsula and Beaver Island belonged to the Lower Peninsula. Also Mrak would like to propose that another edition of the Indian grammar be made, about 500 copies. For Marquette, Detroit and St. Paul the grammar is so necessary. St. Paul has the most Indians. Mrak will soon have the deeds ready. :: III-2-l A.L.S. German 3pp. 16mo.
