Durst has followed Lefevere's instruction. He has returned from New Melleray, Iowa where the Trappists refused to receive him. Following the advice of Bishop Clement Smyth of Dubuque, he went to Chicago to the Jesuits for a retreat but they too would not receive him. He went to the Redemptorists and spent 8 days under their directions. They thought he should return to active life. He asks Lefevere, after 10 months of waiting, formally to grant him an exeat to some bishop or for Milwaukee. It seems to Durst that the ordeal has been sufficiently long, hard, and humiliating. His address is care of Father J _____ Holzbauer, St. Joseph's, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. :: III-2-k A.L.S. French 1p. 8vo.
