Lefevere, Peter Paul, Bishop of Zela, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1861 April 23

He sends some additional letters which will give light on the vicious character of Father Hugh Quigley who boasts that he bought his diploma of Doctor for $60 from the faculty of the Sapientia in Rome. Word has been received that Bishop Frederic Baraga has started afoot from Lake Superior on his way to the Council and was taken very sick at Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. Lefevere thinks the council ought to be postponed until times are better. Perhaps even the government might take umbrage at such a gathering of bishops and priests at this time. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
