Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

February 21, DeNeve sent Father John Cappon a draft for 190 francs which he credited to Lefevere. DeNeve's last letter of March 21 had a draft for 100 francs to Father Charles Ryckaert. He acknowledges receipt of a second draft for 1560. The joint letter of Lefevere and Bishop Martin John Spalding will be sent this week to Rome. It would be extremely useful to say a word on the need of priests in their diocese when Lefevere writes directly to Cardinal Alexander Barnabo. He could write a little about what the missionaries from Louvain have done there. Everyone blames DeNeve for not publicizing the success of their students in the missions, but he is at a loss for communications. Two of DeNeve's friends have spoken to Barnabo who wants nothing but a few details. Is Father Peter Hennaert still living? If he did not love him, he would not suffer from his silence. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
