De Neve, Father John, Louvain, Belgium, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1868 July 22

He has received and credited Odin's payment of 2000 francs. Since Odin made no mention of it, he asks if he received his bill of November 9, 1867. Odin's two men will be ordained next Saturday. He asks for details on when and how they should be sent to America. He may be able to get some money from the Ludwig Verein at Munich because one of them is originally from Munich. He is pleased that Father Ignatius Scheck and Father Pierre Leonhard Thévis Tewis are doing well. He read of the death of a Scheck and asks if it is the same man. Should Odin need a third German priest, he should let De Neve know in his next letter, and he will do all in his power to secure one. :: VI-2-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
