Borgess, Caspar H., Bishop of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 October 12

On Oct. 9 Father Edward Jacker for the first time sent Borgess a letter on the Cheboygan, Michigan affair and used the same expression in regard to Father C.L. DeCeuninck. He seems to suffer from the contagion that it required Purcell's intervention to force Borgess into submission. Borgess is glad of his intervention and has sent Purcell's letter to DeCeuninck and demanded that he force Jacker to prove his charges. This, Borgess trusts, will bring some truth to light. DeCeuninck is not at Cheboygan but at Luddington, Michigan . The rebels at Cheboygan still hold violent possession of the church. :: II-5-f A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
