Scope and Contents He writes about the Redemptorists' house in Detroit, and their mission in Monroe. In 1856 recourse was had by the Vicar General Peter Kindekens of the Detroit Diocese stating that the Redemptorists should resume the Monroe Station and retain the Detroit house. Mauron answered him, giving reasons for relinquishing Monroe, and describing their quarrels with Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere of Detroit. If Barnabo were favorable to them, they would retain the house in Detroit under certain conditions,...

Scope and Contents Two years previous, while stationed in Mahanoy City, Maus bought olive oil and tapers from Messrs. Weaver and Sterry, but neither gave him satisfaction. The oil became black and muddy after 6 or 8 hours and the tapers did not last even 12 hours. These tapers, lighted at 9 o'clock in the evening are extinct by 6 o'clock the next morning. Maus tried these same products again in Philadelphia with the same results and so he has made purchases from a different firm advertising in the...

Scope and Contents Sister Theresa has heard that Mother Mary Joseph Walker gave Lefevere all the letters written by her from Choconut; he should have good reason then to be angry. She admits that she has done wrong and begs for forgiveness. She wonders why God did not restrain her impetuous disposition during all the time she was asking his assistance. She has done penance ever since. She is trying to derive good from her faults, as St. Augustin says. The only motive she had in trying to get the Community of...

Scope and Contents Fearing that she showed too great anxiety of obtaining the desired permission while speaking to Lefevere, Sister thinks it necessary to explain herself. She wanted to make clear that in submitting everything to her superior, Father Edward Joos, she was only following Lefevere's advice; she was only doing what Joos told her and would have preferred that Joos should have done so himself. The offer made is advantageous for the order, which they wish to accept, but not against their Superiors....

If he wishes to hear from her again...

Scope and Contents The undersigned councilmen think it their duty to inform Lefevere how matters stand in their parish. A few men have caused a great deal of disturbance, have oppressed the pastor, Father Desiderius Callaert, and tried to stir up the people against him to prevent a small raise in pew-rent. Both Councilmen and pastor had agreed that the raise was necessary for support of the school; the majority of the parish paid. A few unchristian agitators refused to pay; after six months, their pews were...

Mazzuchelli sends the Secretary of Propaganda Fide an Italian translation of the following letter:

Scope and Contents The last word he received from Rese was dated February 26, 1836. The long silence does not please him. If he is in disgrace he asks the Bishop to rebuke him. He is the same man he was 5 and 6 years ago, 30 years and 2 months old. The vexations of the years '34 and '35 gave way to peace. His reputation there is as good as Rese would wish him to have. Jesus still uses him as a very improper instrument. What he told Rese about the churches has become a fact as Rese can see in the press. The...

Scope and Contents In answer to her letter of last January 3 Mazzuchelli testifies: that in 1832 or 1833 he bought in sister Vindevoghel's name a house and land opposite the church he built in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1831.

As a great admirer of Orestes A. Brownson and a subscriber to his Review for over twenty years, Mc Keown wants to know where he can obtain a good photograph of Brownson.

Scope and Contents McMaster apologizes for not writing sooner and explains his presence in Hyde Park. When the Bishop refused to ordain him this summer he was advised by some friends and Dr. Henry McVickar to leave the Seminary. McVickar suggested he leave the diocese. In the meantime, Mr. Laydon, a son in law of J. Astor, and a resident of Hyde Park, made an application to him through Dr. Sherwood for a tutor to one of his sons. Dr. McVickar conferred with the Bishop, and then advised McMaster to take...

Scope and Contents He resolved upon his return from home a week ago to write to Wadhams again if he had not heard from him. He expresses his grief concerning the death of Mr. Dyer. Realizing how this death has affected Wadhams, he does not believe it likely that Wadhams will be able to fill his place with so pleasant an associate. This probability of a change interests him because he still has a desire to go to that part of the country. He has little hopes of this event occuring since he has neither heard...

Scope and Contents He was in Washington City last winter and he went to see the Commissioner of Pensions about Mrs. Nolan's claim. One defect which that office alleged to exist was the fact that Rev. Brannon was a Notary Public and the Office demanded that a certificate of Court should be attached certifying that he was a Notary Public. There is some difficulty in getting proof of the disease of which Nolan died, but he thinks that if he had the marriage certificate all right that he could crowd the case...
