The subjoined letter is from l'abbe Fontaine whom Kindekens has commissioned to finish the deal that he began incognito. Lefevere will know that he has finished by buying a building on a fine site in Louvain. The Merode Count Felix affair is still in statu quo; however they are still hoping that the family will finish by doing something. Already they are informed of the admission of Count Werner de Merode and his wife that the proprieties, at least, exact that the family fulfill the promises of the late Count Felix de Merode . They were about to begin their subscription when at the end of May, the Free-Masons have by their streetfight, of which the newspapers will have already made known the nature, so excited the country that they have judged it proper to postpone it at least until their minds calm a little. Kindekens has not heard from Lefevere, but he hopes that his letter should bring him a draft for $1000 just as the resolution of Bishops Martin John Spalding and John McCloskey is a long time arriving here. It should be easy for Lefevere to understand that Kindekens finds himself in a very difficult position and that he is anxious to receive the draft of Lefevere's subscription and that of Spalding's and McCloskeys'. However he has no doubt that their project will be successful; and he likes to believe that all these troubles are a clear sign that it is God's work. If Lefevere can agree with Spalding and McCloskey, to send as quickly as possible: 1. one American student who will be at the same time as a student in philosophy and theology English Professor; 2. some English books for the house library; 3. some maps of the United States; 4. some English grammars and dictionaries.
