Timon, John, Bishop of, Buffalo, New York, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1858 November 21
Scope and Contents
Timon gives the views of several bishops and himself on the government of the proposed American College in Rome and asks Lefevere's opinion in the same. They think that unless discipline and moral care are at once provided for, it may be no consolation for them. The recent example of the Irish College in Paris proves how distance from the inspection of the Ordinary may lead to disorder and trouble. They think the American College should be confided to some religious order. Timon would prefer the Lazarists Vincentians but would cheerfully see it confided to any, say the Sulpicians. :: III-2-i L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
