De Neve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1861 December 10
Scope and Contents
De Neve hopes much for 1862, which, if he is not mistaken is the year that Lefevere will go to Rome, and hopes to see him then. He is quite content with the past year. Fathers John Van Gennip, Peter Koopmans, and Charles Chambille have not forgotten him. Mr. _____ James only has not as yet come to Belgium, these men will have given Lefevere all the news of the American College of Louvain. The number of students is 29. Father John Friedland is a young and talented priest. Father Ferdinand Allgayer is not so valuable. Friedland is pious but has his own views; he will make a good priest. De Neve is forced to apply to the Propagation of the Faith for his expenses for the voyage. De Neve has presumed on Lefevere's good will in drawing on an allocation made to Lefevere. Lefevere, like the other episcopal patrons of the College, should know what is being done with their money. Since March 18, he has received no news. Will Lefevere check his lists for money for the Propagation of the Faith, from his departure in 1859. He approves Cardinal Englelbert Sterckx's request for Father EdmondDumont as regent. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
