Timon, Bishop John, Buffalo, New York, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1862 November 19
Scope and Contents
Last summer while returning from Rome, he and the Bishop of Brooklyn John Laughlin and the Bishop of Hartford Francis P. McFarland visited the American College at Louvain. They were much pleased. Father John DeNeve wishes that by some act of the American Bishops, Rome would notice them and grant favors. Lefevere is considered a founder of this noble work, Timon promises his efforts in any direction. He mentions a letter of Cardinal Barnabo to the president of the American College dated 15 April, 1861, expressing willingness to grant a Benedictio Apostolica, but it does not seem that it was granted. Timon offers cooperation in any effort, and thinks he can get a few Bishops to concur in anything for the good of that most interesting institution. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 18mo.
