Callaert, Father Desiderius, Athlone, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 July 22

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Thomas Rafter has come home from Montreal because the high rate of exchange made it impossible for his parents to pay his board. As he is good in Latin and has a decided vocation to the priesthood, Callaert suggests that Lefevere send him to Louvain where he would be out of danger of the draft. His parents could pay for the voyage, clothing and a little more. Since Rafter wishes to belong to Detroit will Lefevere take him under his patronage? Callaert quotes a letter of recommendation from Rafter's superior. Rafter speaks French pretty well, which is very useful in this diocese. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
