DeNeve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 September 30
Scope and Contents
DeNeve thanks Lefevere for his letter brought by James Wheeler. He will arrange his business with Certes and will send at the first opportunity an adjustment of accounts. He has placed young Wheeler and John McManus McMannus in College. Father Henry Delbaere should have arrived in America. He has a good head but his exterior habits leave much to be desired. He is too absent-minded. This letter will introduce Fathers John Busche and Henry Beerhorst, two excellent workers for Detroit diocese. Busche will be a good companion for Lefevere on his confirmation tours to German settlements. He knows English very well. Beerhorst is less talented but will do well among the Germans and the poor Irish. During the summer he ought to be examined by Lefevere or Father Hennaert before receiving faculties. DeNeve wishes all his students to be placed with good and experienced priests. :: III-2-k A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
