Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

He testifies that a young man named Bjoering, a convert, was received on probation in the novitiate of the Redemptorist Father at St. Nicolas du Port, Province of Loraine, France, during 1866-7, from where he was dismissed because of the doubtfullness of the sincerity of his conversion. He was a Dane, had been a soldier in the Danish army, and former editor of a little journal in Germany. He was given 30 francs by the head of the house when he left St. Nicolas to try to enter the novitiate of the Capuchin Father in Belgium. He was lean, rosy face, flaxen hair, blue eyes, and talked in German, Latin and a little French. If it is not the same Bjoering Ostermann is mistaken. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
