He has advised Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, as administrator of Michigan, that the Association of the Propagation has allotted Richard for this year 14000 francs and last year 13925 francs. In making this generous allotment, the Council has had in view to enable him to pay a debt that is hindering him in his holy ministry. Fenwick has been authorized to draw on him for the amount. Richard is to acknowledge the receipt of the sum. He is also to send a detailed account of his mission and give his regards to Father Stephen Theodore Badin. Richard notes this no. 6, as received Sept. 4, 1832, and answered but at no given date. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
