DeNeve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1861 March 20
Scope and Contents
He acknowledges receipt of the draft of $1,560 which is credited to the American College of Louvain. When Lefevere's letter reached him, DeNeve had already drawn on Lefevere for 190 francs which Father John Cappon was to hand over to Lefevere. DeNeve has received 100 francs for Father Charles Ryckaert, which Lefevere will please pay as DeNeve has written him in the enclosed letter no enclosure. DeNeve is happy to receive Lefevere's letter, not so much for the draft as for the importance Lefevere has attached to DeNeve's letter of January 12. DeNeve regrets that the Lefevere-Martin John Spalding joint letter failed to reach Cardinal Barnabo. He asks Lefevere to send him at least the substance of his and Spalding's letter to Barnabo. The college continues to prosper, but DeNeve deplores the silence of the American priests on sending particulars of their missions. Father James Pulsers has been professor theology there for three months; DeNeve is quite satisfied with him but regrets that thus far Pulsers cannot decide to remain permanently. ` P.S. If Father Peter Hennaert receives the money from Father August Durst, he can pay Lefevere and write DeNeve how much it is. :: III-2-j A.D.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
