Their Provincial, Father George J. Ruland, C.SS.R. being ill, Van de Braak has been asked to write in his name, that he has just received a letter from their Vicar General, Father Rudolph Smetana, C.SS.R. in which Ruland learns that he is to abandon it entirely in three or four months. Also that if Lefevere wishes to keep the Redemptorists at Detroit, this can be done only under certain conditions which the Provincial will make known after his convalescence. Lefevere knows that it is because they must live together according to their rule that they do this. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
