Kovy hopes that Lefevere will not receive this letter in a bad spirit. He has been stationed on an Island where there are many soldiers. Nearly every day he has had to administer the sacraments to soldiers in hospitals, in the presence of prostitutes. He has tried to have these wicked women removed at least while he is administering the sacraments but has been ridiculed by the soldiers. Likewise there was a stable of horses near the church which made so much noise that they disturbed the services. He complained to the higher officers with the result that he has lost favor with the military who made many false charges against him. Feeling that he was no longer useful in the region or the country he has asked his superiors for a decree of secularization. His superiors grant this on condition that he is accepted by a bishop and presents documents to that effect. Kovy asked Lefevere to receive him so that he may work for him in the vineyard of the Lord. P.S. He knows some English, German and Flemish. :: III-2-h A.L.S. Latin 3pp. 8vo.
