DeNeve acknowledges Lefevere's favors of Nov. 14 and Nov. 22 and the copy enclosed. He has come to the following conclusions: 1. To send Lefevere a copy of the deed of the part of the American College at Louvain DeNeve was able to buy. He consulted the best lawyers in Belgium and in accordance with the Bishop of Ghent Louis Joseph Delebecque, who pointed out the 3 gentlemen whose names are in the deed; ~ Document ~ 2. To send Lefevere a copy of the conditions under which DeNeve collected and received alms. Following the advice of the Canon and the command of the Bishop of Ghent he has told no one except Father Peter Kindekens. DeNeve hopes Kindekens' letter will not come to hands where it ought not to be; ` 3. To send Lefevere a copy of the testament of Kindekens that Lefevere may judge of all the pieces. DeNeve's opinion on the subject is this: Kindekens' first proposition is at present impossible; there is no law in Belgium for the government to acknowledge the legal existence of the college. If Kindekens was promised some votes why did he defer so long? Why did Kindekens not speak to DeNeve? The 2nd proposition is good but the trouble is to find money; if he could find money he would have mortgaged the property. Kindekens' deed need not be changed. The Bishop of Ghent's reason for wanting Kindekens at the time of his removal to transfer the deed to DeNeve has ceased to exist. Kindekens wrote the Bishop of Ghent that he did not want to return to Detroit. Kindekens had no testament or last will at that time. They will have to pay a great deal after Kindekens' death, if they survive; when one of the four dies, the others will have also to pay. If DeNeve could get from the priests who have gone forth from Louvain, a report of their missions on the number of baptisms, marriages, of children in schools it would help him a great deal. He hopes Father Ferdinand Allgayer and Father John Friedland arrived safe. If Lefevere wishes a copy of the deed of the second house, DeNeve will send it. The title is invested in the same four names. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
