Speth is sending this letter through Father John M. Henni of Cincinnati who had been in Munich for a while. He informs Rese that 6000 florins will be delivered to the bank Eichthal in Munich before the end of the month and they will arrange with the bank in New York to transmit the money to Rese. Speth believes that the money will be in rese's hands before this letter and asks for an immediate acknowledgement of receipt. In order to give a new incentive to the next collection Speth had asked Henni to write a little book with the title "A glimpse into the Ohio valley, or Letters about the struggle and revival of the Catholic Church in the far west of the United States of America," which according to Rese's advice has been sent to the printer. 3000 copies will be distributed among the Bavarian clergy in all dioceses with a special exhortation from the bishop. Speth hopes that the result of this book will not only cover its cost but that money will accrue which can be given to the diocese of Detroit and also Cincinnati, as the collection had originally been started for Cincinnati. Speth leaves the distribution to Rese's judgement. Speth recommends Henni especially to Rese., P.S. Bishop Simon G. Brute of Vincennes visited Speth in January on his way to Vienna. Speth was very glad to have made the acquaintance of such a pious and zealous man. :: III-2-g A.L.S. German 2pp. 8vo.
