Lefevere has been pained by O'Driscoll's statement that James Pulcher, John Reichenbach and Cerly have been implicated in the use of whiskey. O'Driscoll will await the action of Father Francis Chambige who will be home the first of September. O'Driscoll is very thankful for Lefevere's invitation but at present he has enough to do at St. Thomas Seminary, Kentucky. Father Peter De Fraine left for Michigan early this month. He has probably given Lefevere the character of Mr. B. Winterhalter, who has been a student at St. Thomas for nearly five years. He is illegitimate, so Bishop Martin John Spalding told him. He pays his own way as a carpenter. He is really inclined to be a priest but is of weak talent and little energy. O'Driscoll cannot conscientiously recommend him. He is sure his judgment coincides with that of Father Chambige. Bishops Spalding and William Henry Elder refused him. W Carey and Charles Bolte are fine men. B. Schmittdiel will walk in their footsteps. The others are young and may do better. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
