Father John de Neve had informed Baraga of the arrival of Father Francis Van der Bom in Detroit for Baraga's diocese. Baraga wants him very much for Saut Ste. Marie as he has no priest yet. He had Father Jeremiah Ryan, but the information he received about him from Sandwich, Canada, was such that he had to dismiss him immediately. If Lefevere persuades Van der Bom not to come to Baraga, he will do a great injustice. It is Lefevere's fault that Baraga is so miserable, because if he had not pulled him in to become Bishop nobody would have ever thought of him, an insignificant Indian missionary . Now Lefevere must help him and persuade Van der Bom to come. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
