Spalding received Lefevere's package of letters and the letter of Father Peter Hennaert . As it seems settled that Father Peter Kindekens will not continue as rector of the American College, he sees no necessity for further action. Father John De Neve should be written to "go ahead". It would be well to send De Neve a letter of recommendation to Archbishop Engelbert Sterckx of Mechlin and apologize for any want of courtesy in the change of rector. If Hennaert or Lefevere will write the letter they can sign in Spalding's name. He also authorizes Lefevere to tell Kindekens that he is fully satisfied with his financial statement and that nothing prejudicial was implied in the manner of appointing the new rector. Bishop Richard Pius Miles has gone suddenly to his rest. Spalding is glad Mr. Elliott called on Lefevere. Spalding lectured in New York last night and lectures tonight in Brooklyn. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
