 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-g

Scope and Contents

Pelegaud wrote Rese on April 16, but has not received any answer. In that letter he announced that the Association of the Propagation had allotted to him the sum of 3,520 francs and asked for a statement about the condition of the diocese, which is necessary if further funds are to be sent. Today he wishes to announce that M. Perreau, general secretary of the Grand Almoner has found in his papers a duplicate of a letter of exchange for 17,000 francs payable at Rese's order, sent from Bavaria in 1830 and drawn upon M. Hottinguer, correspondent of the Bank of the United States at Paris. The letter of exchange arrived during July and it is not certain whether it has been paid or not. They cannot prove this because they have only a duplicate and suppose that the original was sent to Rese. Pelegaud asks Rese to answer immediately and tell whether the draft has been paid. Hottinguer will pay if this has not already been done., P.S. Pelagaud is not to be addressed as "Abbe." :: III-2-g A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
