De Neve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1868 June 13
Scope and Contents
De Neve has been in Rome to have his faculties renewed and to settle some questions about the American College at Louvain . All the privileges requested have been granted. The visit to Europe of Fathers Henry Rievers and Remigius Van der Heyden does much good. The former will bring two priests to Detroit, who will pay their own passage. He will also bring one who was about to go to America. He has just received Mr. Uytdewilligen of Glasgow for Detroit. Ignatius Rickert and Donovan will be ready soon, but money is needed for their passage. Besides these six, there is another priest intended for the mission of Father Edmund Dumont but he is slow in learning English. De Neve's health is much better but he can not find another man to take Dumont's place. The Council will be announced this year; he hopes to see Lefevere on his way to Rome. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
