Brüning learns from friends of some vacant parishes in Detroit Diocese, and requested Charles Jacobs of Cincinnati to speak to Lefevere in Brüning's behalf. Brüning left the Cincinnati Archdiocese because the Archbishop John Baptist Purcell told Brüning that he had no confidence in him. He was never suspended. If Lefevere wishes to know more of his character, he can write to the Benedictines of Covington. Brüning is 53 years old, in good health, but cannot ride a horse, so he asks for a place without missions. He is a German but knows enough English to hear confessions. Lefevere should address his answer in care of Father Prior Odilo Van de Green. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
