Immediately after this he left this parish and returned to his property in Alsace, France.

His certificate from Chicago shows that he is under no suspension and that during the nine years he was in Chicago he...

Scope and Contents He is just an Indian missionary, persecuted for the last seven years, but he still follows closely the work of the Church, and especially all useful and needed publications. He read the review of Brownson's "The Religion of Ancient Craft Masonry" by J. B. Mueller of the German "Voice of Truth". He can only afford to send $1. for distribution of the pamphlet, but will say Masses for more copies of the pamphlet. He praises Orestes A. Brownson who so heroically distinguished himself laboring...

Scope and Contents He has received both Hennaert's printed favors concerning the Jubilee and the American College in Rome. He could not collect any money for the latter purpose, but if Hennaert can spare Mass intentions he would take about $10 and give that to the College. For eight days he was with Father Andreas Herbstrit in Eagletown. He was quite satisfied with the Indians and their priests. Could he reside there a year or two, he might bring back many apostates at Grand Traverse Bay and instruct ten or...

Scope and Contents The impression made on him by Father Andreas Herbstrit, C.PP.S., by encouraging him caused him to write so earnestly. Two days ago the Indian Chief there said that they did not want Father Nicholas Louis Sifferath who was so disobedient to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere . Zorn would be well pleased to remain there at least for another year. Herbstrit had said that in case Zorn, should not come to the Indians at Eagletown, he knew an old priest who would come at once and soon speak the Indian...

Each family should give one bushel of corn and one dollar or a little more. He has unpaid debts with Benziger Brothers; had Bishop Frederic Baraga been alive, Zorn would have received $100 for January to July. He was with Father John B. Weikamp for five months before...
