Spalding would like to hear from Lefevere in reference to the prospects of the American College at Louvain from which he has heard nothing since the Vicar General Father Peter Kindekens left Louisville. Archbishop Francis Patrick Kenrick of Baltimore is opposed, thinking it will interfere with the Roman College. Spalding thinks differently and hopes Lefevere does too. Kenrick was opposed to the Belgian one before the Roman one was thought of, yet gave Bishop Michael O'Connor, S.J. a favorable letter addressed to Cardinal Engelbert Sterckx of Mechlin. Spalding thinks the Roman College is father off than ever. He expects to start to Albany, New York on March 9 and can be addressed care of Bishop John McCloskey to let him know how many bishops have approved and how many have promised to contribute. He will be in Albany until after March 17 and may take Detroit in his way back. Should Kindekens start before March 17 he is to call at Albany. P.S. He expects to send Lefevere a new edition of his diocesan statutes to which is attached a pastoral. Lefevere played a trick by putting Spalding's name first on the circular. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
