Identifier: CDET III-2-h

Scope and Contents

Cardinal James Philip Franzoni has written Lefevere twice and Sister Mary France s herself has written to find out if it is Lefevere's intention to sell the house at Detroit which was bought in Sister's name and with her money but Lefevere has not answered. Bishop Frederick Rese, while in Rome, had this house registered in his name, promising to return it to her. On her return to America, Bishop Rese having left his diocese, the affair was not settled and since it is not known whether Bishop Rese is still living Lefevere alone can carry out the intention. Father Potzi Eugene H. Pozzo O.P ., who visited Rome, is instructed to complete her business in America and she hopes that Lefevere will not fail to reply to Cardinel Franzoni since the affair was made known in Rome by Rese himself. In one of his last letters to her, Lefevere said that the sum which Rese has spent to repair the house must be given back. She has the notice from Rese himself that he intended to give it back when they lived in it again. Thus; Lefevere can see that she intends to end this business justly. :: III-2-h A.L.S.
