DeNeve has delayed telling Lefevere of the improvements of the American College of Louvain. In addition to the College grounds, DeNeve has bought a large house and garden for $42,500. With taxes, notary's fees, etc., it will come to $50,000. In order to pay it Bishop Augustine M.S. Blanchet, Bishop Francis P. McFarland, Bishop John Timon, Bishop Modest Demers, each gave $5250. Louisville subscribed $1000 and in prospect, Baltimore and New Orleans $10,500. Next Pentecost, James Pulcher will be called to Minor Orders and Subdiaconate. Lefevere is to inform DeNeve if Pulche4r is not wanted. John Reichenbach, James Wheeler and Thomas Rafter are doing well. As DeNeve has different students with him or at the colleges, he must secure them to some diocese and make up expenses by charging them to the prelates. DeNeve wants to know how high, more or less, his bill for 1864-1865 may run. McMannus Patrick J. McManus gives great satisfaction to the Superior of Roulers; shall DeNeve take him for Detroit or let him be adopted by another diocese? DeNeve has 40 theologians and 13 students in different colleges. His object in adopting young men of America, Ireland and England is to give Belgian youth a chance to learn English. This year DeNeve receives the first gift from Count Werner de Merode of $500; he promises the same every year. Expenses have been running 50,000 francs yearly. Father Edmund Dumont and Father Charles Van Kerckhove give very substantial lectures. DeNeve is looking around for a priest to assist him. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
