From Lefevere's letter of the 20th, he fears Lefevere underestimates his desire of entering a religious order. Koopmans has struggled against the order for 18 years. He changed his intentions 15 years ago to sacrifice himself for the missions. Ever since he has delayed making known his views or carrying out his intentions due to cowardice or to indebtedness of the missions. Now he conscientiously believes it is God's will to enter the religious life. He is willing to wait three or four months until a priest can be assigned as he understands some priests are expected from Europe. He is now 36 years old and does not wish to wait until he is too old to make the change. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
