Vanhaelst, Father, Paris, France, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1859 July 26
Scope and Contents
When the Vanroste? family decided to go to America, far from opposing it, he did everything possible to aid their voyage so that they might have a little money on arrival in a foreign country where workmen will find a low cost of living and high wages. Besides they will have there, as good as in Belgium, the facility for fulfilling their religious duties. They have fallen into bad ways and are living separated and are unhappy. Vanhaelst asks the Bishop to get his sister into a hospital and promises to pay the costs. He sends her news of their children in Paris. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
