Identifier: CDET III-2-g

Scope and Contents

The writer thanks Rese for the care and sympathy he showed to the Redemptorists who came to America. Ever since their departure the writer had the desire to discuss with Rese the erection of a house for them in North America. The Central Committee of the Leopoldine Association in Vienna totally agreed with the writer and allowed 5000 florins C.M. for the building. He asks Rese to support the project and inform him where he intends to erect that house. The writer suggests Green Bay and points out the advantages of such an undertaking. It would among other things increase the donations for the diocese. Rese should not think that these 5000 fl. will diminish his income as that sum had already been designated for that purpose by the Central Committee. Many bishops ask the association for help, but Rese's diocese is always first, because he has many Austrians as missionaries., P.S. If there should be no place for the erection of a house in Rese's diocese, then Rese should select a place suitable for that purpose wherever it may be. :: III-2-g A.L. Unsigned German 3pp. 4to.
