DeNeve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 May 13

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

As DeNeve has received no answer to his letter of February 22, he takes for granted that silence gives consent. Bishop Martin John Spalding is favorable, and Archbishop Joachim Louis Gonin has been admitted as a patron of the American College at Louvain Seminary. He is extremely embarrassed as regards the selection for the diocese. Since Lefevere has not permitted him to admit 9 students whose board and room will be charged to the Detroit Diocese he can not support the other students on the Detroit list. He will postpone the admission of some men, and he hopes that Lefevere will come in person. If in the meantime Lefevere must delay his trip to Europe, DeNeve earnestly expects some reply. Father Remigius Van Der Heyden's Father wishes to give his son $400 in gold. As DeNeve will need money to pay passage of priests to Detroit, will Lefevere pay that sum in gold to Father Van Der Heyden? :: III-2-k A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
