He acknowledges the letter of McFarland of December 18 and the draft and the same amount from Certes in Paris. This year he has 37 students. He has been saving a room for the man mentioned in McFarland's letter but he has received no application yet and has presumed he will not come this year. He asks that McFarland tell him what kind of subjects and how many the diocese will need in the next two or three years and how many pensions McFarland will agree to pay. He has a very good priest Father A. De Regge. McFarland should consult Father Florimond De Bruycker - although not strong in body. He has a deacon who will probably choose Nesqualy. He is happy to receive the good news of De Bruycker. If he is sometimes sad, he will be cheered by a kind word from his superior. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
