Passerat writes because as superior he is supposed to look after the temporal as well as the spiritual welfare of his congregation. He will merely expose the facts of the difficulty which exists between them., 1. The Leopoldine Association added 5,000 florins m.de c. to the sun that it had already allotted to Rese with the intention that it be given to the Redemptorists, even though the secretary attached some other conditions to the allotment. It would not have been given except for their appeal., 2. Then the Association allotted another 4,000 florins more expressly for their appeal., 3. In the thirdly, the Association gave 5,000 florins for which it demanded a receipt from Rese. Rese as the only channel through which the funds could come has an obligation in justice to pay them the money. The members of the Association and all concerned in the american missions have no doubt that the money came to the redemptorists and are astonished that they have received nothing. Passerat cannot in conscience yield the rights of his community. These are the facts of the matter and if Rese wishes to know to whom to send the money it is to Father Francis X. Tschenhens at Norwalk Ohio. He has charge of the affairs of the congregation and he will receive the money and will dispose of the money according to his superiors intentions. Passerat asks what allotment Rese received this year, and persuades the bishop that they will do nothing to injure him with the Leopoldine Association. Passerat begs an answer. The signature is torn off and the writing does not seem to be that of Passerat, but the remnants of the signature seem to be his. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
