DeNeve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 May 15
Scope and Contents
DeNeve's mother died some time ago. Last week he was called to the family in order to hear the liquidation of her property. DeNeve's share is constituted on the title of patrimony as a subdeacon, and he asks Lefevere to send proof of his title. He will give the Bishop of Ghent Louis Joseph Delebecque the deed before ordination, and will confer with the rector of the Ghent seminary about any change in the deed. Adolphe Certes has not as yet paid. He hopes Fathers Gustave Limpens, Louis Van Den Driessche, and Louis Baroux will arrive safely, having departed from Liverpool, May 6. Lefevere may place Van Den Driessche any place, but Limpens should not be alone for some time; he is young and talented, and so will be exposed to temptations. Limpens is to hand over 50 francs in gold which Madame Pierssens of Louvain offers as a memorial. :: III-2-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
