Scope and Contents Kuhn assures Lefevere that his harboring of Father J. A. Koenig after his functions were taken away by Lefevere was an act of charity, not spite. During Koenig's stay in Detroit, Kuhn visited him 5 or 6 times, went to church on Sundays and heard his excellent sermons, and learned with surprise of his suspension. Fearing Koenig night be in despair and take a step injurious to religion, Kuhn wrote him and invited him to remain in his house until he could prepare to leave for Detroit. He...

Scope and Contents Being absent from Detroit for four months on a mission in the Territory of Wisconsin, Kundig could not attend to Meldrum's letter. Upon his return he was informed of Mrs. Meldrum's coming to town. He visited her, having Saginaw on his mind since his mission there last spring. The prospect of beginning a church in Saginaw, and Meldrum's interest in it made Kundig anxious to address him. Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere is making arrangements in Detroit which will naturally extend through the...

Scope and Contents The work is begun and is satisfactory though the congregation is very much divided and lukewarm: the Irish are divided among themselves and opposed to the French; the French despise the Irish; the Germans are like a flock who have had no pastor.

Kundig visited Furlong's Settlement to make arrangements according to Lefevere's request. The best land of the country is in Catholic...

Scope and Contents He excuses himself for not writing sooner. Before leaving Detroit, Kundig engaged Doctor Louis Cavalli to make a settlement with Michigan bank if possible.

Scope and Contents Yesterday, seeing his congregation unusually numerous, Kundig announced that next Sunday the divine service for the German congregation would begin at 8:30 and for the English at 10:30.

Yesterday they rang the Presbyterian bell on their steeple and made it Catholic. "The Society" held its first monthly meeting; it has brought in...

Scope and Contents Lefevere's letter conveying his wish for Kundig to return to Detroit came last night. Kundig is ready. He hopes his last two letters gave no offense.

Scope and Contents Kundig wrote to Father Edmund Kilroy some time ago, but Kundig conjectures Kilroy did not receive the letter. Kundig and associates received the ordo for 1843 and thanks Lefevere. Since his return from Detroit Kundig did not write Lefevere. There was nothing of importance and Lefevere's time is precious. He wishes to tell Lefevere of an idea that weights on his mind. Kundig is credibly informed that Mr. Williams, treasurer of Trinity Church, will not be able to pay him the money due him...

Scope and Contents In Detroit, two weeks ago, Kundig was very anxious to talk with Lefevere but decided that a letter would be more to the purpose. About the time of the cholera epidemic in Detroit, Bishop Frederick Rese appeared before the Board of County Supervisors who appointed Kundig Director of the County Hospital and Poorhouse. The question of who was to send and dismiss and pay for the patients was then decided. But in 1839 Kundig's advances reached the sum of $7000 and the banks having failed, the...

But this action has caused great anger in the parish so that all have...
