Schwarz, George, Vienna, Austria, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 August 6
Scope and Contents
Schwarz is pleased to send Lefevere's benevolent feelings for him. Many youthful recollections fill Schwarz's mind for the Detroit Diocese where as a stranger and youth from his native country he enjoyed consolation from his holy religion. As long as Schwarz is a member of the Direction of the Leopoldine Association in Vienna, all his influence will be directed to the American College in Louvain. Father John DeNeve's letter to him states that Lefevere intends to come to Europe, and asks if it would be advisable to come to Vienna. Schwarz thinks Lefevere should come as Lefevere would receive a couple of thousand florins from the Leopoldine Society. Schwarz hopes to be in Vienna if Lefevere comes, but he is usually with Mrs. Schwarz in the Baths from July until October. Schwarz promises to busy himself with the small Jouffroy Foundation, the revenue of which is shared by Detroit and Cincinnati Diocese; the Papal Nuncio at Vienna is the administrator of the foundation. Even republics also fall into the most horrible civil wars, and not all evil exists in Europe alone. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
