DeNeve imagines that Father Peter Kindekens, whom he hopes has arrived safely, will have reported on the situation of the seminary and that he will have called Lefevere's attention to certain characteristics of Father August Durst which should be considered before his appointment. DeNeve regrets this in spite of the formal declaration which Durst made to him at Anvers. Durst has left debts in Europe, if DeNeve is to believe the accounts sent him. There are three students for Detroit: John Ferdinand Friedland, a German, who pays his own board, Ferdinand Allgayer, German, and Edward Eugene Van Lauwe, Belgian for whom $1,125 has been charged to Detroit. As DeNeve has been so successful in his last collections he believes he can repay his traveling expenses of $776.93 and $200 to Father Charles Ryckaert. Thus the actual indebtedness to the seminary is only $148.07. If Lefevere can pay only for the two who are there he can sent a draft for this and for the two bills for 1860-61 which would make $1,148.07. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
