Spalding encloses a letter from Father Peter Kindekens Kindikins forwarded to him by Bishop John McCloskey of Albany. Spalding is truly sorry to see that the prospect for their college in Belgium are not flattering. McCloskey and Spalding are of the opinion that they should not send their subscriptions of one thousand dollars each until something more definite is heard from the College. Before paying the subscription a certificate should be had from the Archbishop Engelbert Sterckx of Mechlin expressing his belief that the College will go on. He asks Lefevere to give him information on the prospects of this College in which he is so much interested. He wrote to the Cardinal of Mechlin some months ago but has received no answer.
