Pope Gregory acknowledges the letter of the prelates assembled in the Second Provincial Council of Baltimore together with the decrees of the Council. These he has submitted to the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda which will give an answer at the proper time. They will also receive letters from him on these matters suggested by them. The acts of the council and the other letters he has received from them bear evidence of their devotion to the Church and to him. He urges them to be zealous that the seed of the just increase until the perfect day, watching over the faithful yet referring all glory to God. Thus they will insure a perfect work and give glory to God while assuring their own salvation. He gives them thus his apostolic benediction.` Copy of letter Latin 2pp. 8vo.
