DeBever is an assistant in Nuland. He writes a second time to DeVries. The President of the seminary had directed him to apply at Baltimore. The more information he received about Baltimore the less he desired to go there. At Louvain they would not counsel him against going to Baltimore. The President of Louvain advised him to send certain information to a Bishop. He is 38 years of age and has been in service 13 years. He does not know English or German but speaks French. He has good testimonials from his Bishop. He asks DeVries to answer by return mail so that he can make up his own mind. He asks DeVries to send on this information to his own Bishop or to the Bishop of Detroit. He has not yet spoken to Father Remigius Van der Heyden although that priest has been in Holland fourteen days. He would return with him to America with Canteris, a seminarian for Baltimore, Van der Hagen, a seminarian for Kentucky, Gerard Van der Plas and Janssens from Tilburg. The last two have not decided on the diocese they will join. De Bever would prefer a country diocese since he does not care for the paved streets. He would like to go to the diocese of Detroit or that of Louisville. He will expect to hear from the Bishop of Detroit. He is practicing English. A.L.S. Dutch :: III-2-l A.L.S. Dutch 4pp. 12mo.
