He would have written sooner, or have sent Father Theodore Hilarion Dressen to Detroit to present himself to Lefevere, but they had expected a letter from Father William Takken from day to day, until he heard Lefevere had not yet returned from the missions and he told Driessen to wait. Lefevere's return before he would go to Cumberland. Rievers knows Driessen; he is of respectable parentage, had been in England for some time. Rievers met him in Europe last winter, when he came to visit his parents. He had a leave of six weeks and after three weeks was called back to England and obeyed. Rievers has blamed him for leaving convent, mission, and bishop, but he is young and did not reflect about the consequences. Since he has been in Muskegon he has conducted himself well. He is an able young priest and would make a good missionary. Lefevere could give him a trial, keeping him in the Cathedral. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
