DeNeve acknowledges McFarland's letter of October 8 and hopes to comply with his request. As to securing a priest he prefers the end of the scholastic year. He knows an excellent man who will serve where his bishop wants him, but it would be a shame not to let him finish his course. DeNeve asks McFarland to write if he can wait until September. His name is VanLaar. He hopes he will be useful to the people and to Fathers Fl. DeBruycker and Eugene Vygen. With great joy he has heard of the plans for the seminary of Troy. He hopes that it will be necessary only for Father Van den Trende to state his complaints to the Bishop to have them remedied. There was no complaint about nationality but DeNeve was disturbed to read complaints about lack of clothes and books. He promised a decent support. He pointed out to Archbishop John McCloskey and Bishop John Fitzpatrick of Boston the name of Vadenhewer. He wrote letters and prompted superiors and McFarland can see why he is so interested in Troy. He has not heard from the Mother Superior. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
