Lefevere, Bishop Peter Paul, Detroit, Michigan, to Father Peter Kindekens, Louvain, Belgium, 1859 November 19
Scope and Contents
After consulting with Bishop John Martin Spalding on the American College at Louvain they are forced to an embarrassing conclusion. Kindekens, despite his good administration of the college has, in his correspondence with the administration of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, offended the feelings of the members of that society to an extent that would prove fatal to the work for which Kindekens has made so many sacrifices. For this reason, Lefevere and Spalding have thought it necessary to make a change in the administration of the College. Father John DeNeve is most likely to answer to the present requisition and they send him to Kindekens begging him to transmit into his hands the administration of the College. DeNeve is young but he is to consult with the Archbishop of Mechlin and the Bishop of Gent, the bosom friend of the Institution. Lefevere hopes to see Kindekens with them as soon as circumstances permit. :: III-2-i L.S. Copy 2pp. folio
