Petit has not heard from Rese for a long time. He wrote him through Mr. Samuel Mazzuchelli at Paris but that man went on to Havre and sailed Oct. 1, after writing that he had sent the letter to Rese. Petit sent another letter which was returned. He has had no news from Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick since July 12, although he has written him several times. Petit has received from Paris a special gift of 1500 francs destined for Fenwick's mission. This gift was sent through the Archbishop of Parish and Abbe Peraut. Rese should see Peraut whose interest he needs when he is at Paris. If he misses him, he should write for an audience because Peraut has been astonished that he has not seen Rese. Petit has spoken to the counseil du nord of the request of Rese that his expenses be refunded in so far as they concern the Association. When he returns, Rese should state the amount and Petit thinks it will be paid. Detroit papers :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
