During the past month the Leopoldine Association has sent to Arnstein and Eckeles of Vienna, the sum of 1117,500 francs who will send it to Kenrick, who is to acknowledge its reception. According to the indications of Father Frederick Rese, the Central Direction of the Association has allotted 25,000 francs to each of the diocese of St. Louis, Kentucky, Charleston, South Carolina and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 17,500 for the diocese of Cincinnati. Cincinnati receives less this time, but will receive more than the others in subsequent allocations of the Association. They cannot close this letter without expressing their regret at not receiving more letters describing the needs and use of the money and the work of the missions. Unless they receive such letters, the interest in the missions will cool and the offerings of the faithful will diminish. :: III-2-g L. Unsigned French 2pp. 4to.
