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.

Could he reside there a year or two, he might bring back many apostates at Grand Traverse Bay and instruct ten or...

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 .
