Spalding learns that there is no elementary course of theology at Louvain . All must attend the long course of seven years. He suggests that a strong petition be sent to Bishop Louis Joseph Delebecque of Ghent to use his influence to have an elementary course of four years established at once. Spalding asks that Father Peter Hennaert write the petition and that Spalding's name be signed to it. He is sure the other bishops will have the same wish. He thinks the change of rectors should be made at once as the College is not getting on well. He asks Lefevere what he has done about the donation received through the Association for the Propagation of the Faith . Spalding received one of 2000 francs; they must act in concert in regard to the application. He trusts that Lefevere is now free from trouble on account of Father Hugh Quigley . He sent Spalding his vile pamphlet. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
