He has hopes that all difficulties at Gratten, Michigan will be settled the first Sunday of March. More...

Scope and Contents Moutard has just returned from his mission, Gratten, Michigan and found Lefevere's letters. "He", Father W. Quigley , received on these rates $154.00. They told Moutard in Gratten that a few days previous to leaving Gratten, "he" stated from the altar how much he had received. Moutard understands "he" collected at least $40.00 in Gratten and above $60 in the Rapids. "He" gave $12.00 to Mr. Giles but owes Giles more than that. Moutard knows nothing of the money due by Thomas Mallone. "He"...

Scope and Contents Knowing Lefevere's feelings towards John Guinan, Moutard thinks it his duty before acting to give Lefevere a statement of what has transpired knowing that Lefevere will never allow a layman to dictate publicly to a congregation in things which belong to the priest.

At the time of the retreat Lefevere had a letter from Mary Jane O'Neil asking to be admitted into the Convent of the Sisters of Charity .
