Cuyten, Head of the Seminary, Bois-le-Duc, has received Lefevere's letter of April 4, 1842. In this late answer he does not know what to say of Lefevere's needs. He has spoken frequently concerning them but without any apparent effect. He sends, however, 150 francs by Father Peter John DeSmet, S.J. when DeSmet returns to America later this year. As to workers he will do what he can but he regards it dangerous to send a young and inexperienced priest into the foreigh missions outside of a religious order. However he will look for suitable workers for the American missions. Formerly his subjects used to contribute to the fraternity of St. Francis Xavier founded pontifically to send funds to the North American missions but now they have united with the Lyons Association of the Propagation and do not have money to give. They give freely, however, of their prayers for the missionaries, as he does frequently in his masses at the seminary. :: III-2-h A.L.S. Latin 1p. 8vo.
