Delbaere's room in the cathedral rectory is such that priests invited for a chat and a smoke refuse to enter it. He desires no change merely for comfort or show, but to stop criticism. Father John F. Van Gennip asked him whether he any work to do in the cathedral. Father James Hennessee Hennessey said his room was never intended for a priest; Father CharlesChambille inquired recently whether Lefevere had as yet given Delbaere any place. If these priests talk that way what must others, less acquainted, say? The other day Delbaere received a letter from a priest of the Hartford Diocese, an acquaintance in the American College. This priest had heard that Delbaere was leaving and invited him to apply to Hartford for admission. "He presents me with a chance to be received for pity's sake if after a whole year waiting I can not get any place in this diocese." Delbaere is sorry to leave Detroit, and is willing to go anywhere in the diocese. If Lefevere is unwilling to improve his conditions, he asks for an exeat. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
