On April 11, 1830 Canon Speth sent a letter to Rese, and he sends again an exact copy which follows. In that letter Speth wrote that he is sorry not to have answered Rese's letter of Sept. 17, 1829 from Paris any sooner. Family affairs kept him away from Munich, but meanwhile 8000 florins were collected which Speth has sent off through the bank, Hottinquer and Co. of Paris. A papal brief about indulgences has not yet arrived, and though it may appear useful in many ways, yet it is not desirable. Rese must have become acquainted with the different opinions while he was in Munich, and that everything that comes from Rome is looked at with Argus eyes, because one suspects connections everywhere. Therefore a papal brief might prove more detrimental than useful. Speth then insists on the necessity of sending interesting reports about the condition and progress of the different missions in order to keep the donors in the spirit of giving. He urges Rese to send such reports immediately. He is ready to assist rese wherever he can, if only Rese would send the reports. This ends the contents of the letter of April 11, 1830. Speth complains again, because he had not yet heard from Rese, especially about the 8000 florins. Rese can easily imagine the embarrassment he is causing the bishops, and Speth himself and all the others. Because of his uncertainty, and because things have changed so much in Parish since the end of July last year, Speth had decided to ask the Leopoldine-Association in Vienna for advice and help. They were glad to cooperate with Speth and are sending this letter to Rese with the hope and request that Speth will soon hear about the receipt of the 8000 florins, which were sent through the National Bank of the U.S. This report is the more necessary, as Speth has the order not to send any more money until news has been received. Speth advises Rese to send all letters form now on through the Leopoldine Association. He also wants reports about the activities of the present missions and their results. To these reports Rese should add a few friendly words to the clergy of Bavaria and encourage them to further donations, so that these reports can be printed liberally and distributed in the different dioceses. Speth is convinced that such letters would be of the greatest advantage., P.S. Speth expects from Vienna daily the Second Publication of Rese's interesting reports about the progress of the missions. He wants to distribute them among the whole clergy. :: III-2-g A.L.S. German 4pp. 8vo.
