He has visited the most religious of all his parish St. Joseph's. They are tired of all the troubles in the German congregation, the same persons are always the cause of them and they have decided to put an end to all the disturbances. Priests are always willing to leave and say the Germans are rebellious against their pastors. They wish to depose their trustees and ask him to do that. He has answered them that he does not wish to do that. A petition signed by more than 500 of his congregation has been given him, demanding the expulsion of the trustees. The congregation condemns the conduct of Mr. Lengemant and Mr. Kunke of St. Mary's against the pastors. The chief cause of the scandal is that when these go to complain against Van Campenhoudt to Lefevere they are given a glass of wine and are able to obtain all that they wish from him. Their relatives are alarmed at this. Father Van will send the petition to Lefevere. He thinks he is capable of restoring peace in his congregation. He will remain passive, hoping in 3 or 4 weeks all will be well. He knows he is not a bad priest; for his faults he asks pardon of God and the bishop. After order is established he hopes Lefevere will not refuse him an exeat. His health does not permit him to live as he would like. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
