Spalding encloses a letter from Father Peter Kindekens no enclosure. His zeal for the American College of Louvain has not cooled. Spalding suggests that Lefevere write a letter of encouragement, and if proper, in the name of the Founders, ask Kindekens to remain for a year as advisor and assistant to Father DeNeve, with the approbation of the latter. Spalding was disappointed that Lefevere could not come to visit with Archbishop John Baptist Purcell; he invites Lefevere to the general examinations at St. Thomas on the 28th and 30th of June, and to the exhibition at Nazareth on the 28thof June. By leaving Detroit on Monday, the 25th, Lefevere can reach Louisville in time to accompany Spalding on Wednesday to Bardstown; there is now a railroad to Bardstown. He reminds Lefevere that he is a Kentuckian and owes this visit to the state of his adoption. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
