Joos' letter of yesterday must have left Lefevere under the impression that Father Desiderius Callaert left without saying one word to him but he did speak just before he left and after the letter was sent. Callaert said he was going to "his" missions and would await Lefevere's answer there. If this answer was unsatisfactory he would leave the diocese. Joos tried in vain to change his mind. This half-year has been very troublesome. P.S. Father Callaert came back this morning but says nothing. He told Father Charles Thomas who was there a few hours that he had left. He seemed dissatisfied because Joos was not willing to keep two horses. It would be easy to prove he has had his board almost gratis besides his half of the fees and $50. Joos feels confident that Father Charles Ryckaert or Father Aloysius Lambert would have been glad to change with Callaert. He suggests that if a change is made, a good priest be sent because of all that has happened in Monroe. He does not wish for a change but if Lefevere deems it best, he does not care. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
