Mioland is pleased to announce the two councils of the Association of the Propagation have allotted for the diocese of Detroit the sum of 13,480 francs. Of that they have already given to Father Frederick Baraga for the printing of his book 3,808 francs and 30 centimes leaving for Rese 9,671 francs 30 centimes. Understanding that he is soon to pass through Paris they will gladly pay him there. They hope he will continue to furnish them interesti8ng notes of his mission because they are the chief means by which to keep alive the interest in the work of the Propagation. They ask that Rese fill out the forms enclosed because they will allot funds only to those dioceses which have supplied this information, so that the allotments can be justly made. They6 acknowledge Rese's letters of October 20 and November 9 of last year and are pleased at the number of conversions reported, which is a source of edification in Europe. Their joy would be complete to hear these details from the lips of the bishop himself which they hope will happen on his next voyage., P.S. If Rese wishes to have the money before his departure for Europe he can draw for the 9,771 francs 70 centimes by thirty day draft on Benoit Coste and should give notice to the secretary of the council of his action. father Baraga visited them only a few hours in Lyons and did not give them any details of his work among the savages about which he has written so interestingly in the annals of the Leopoldine association. In his appeals to the missionaries Rese should urge them to write accounts of their work which are so interesting to the faithful in Europe. He should tell of the pain caused by their silence about their work and their history of their missions which provide the interest in the Annales. :: III-2-g L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
