The Austrian Consul General at New York having transmitted the letter of Rese addressed to the Austrian Emperor, dated Jan. 15, Metternich placed it before the Emperor who asked him to answer it. Attached to his holy religion, the Emperor experiences satisfaction at the rapid progress of religion in Rese's vast country. Convinced that the Catholic doctrine will prevail where announced, the progress made augurs well for further advances. The Emperor is pleased to have his people contribute to the progress of the Church in the United States according to the plans Father Frederick Rese, his vicar general has made. Metternich is happy to transmit this message and assures Fenwick of his respect for him. :: III-2-g L.S. French 2pp. 4to
