Lacking news of Rese since his passage through Lyons and also lacking news of the Diocese of Detroit about which Rese promised to write from Rome, they presume that he has returned to Detroit. The Association of the Propagation has decided to make their decision about the division of the funds at the beginning of the year rather than at the end is so far as that is possible and to transmit to the missions the funds allotted in so far as the funds are available . Thus, they announce that the allocation for the diocese of Detroit for the year 1837 is 9,000 francs. They wish that he would make a draft for that sum on MM. Vue Guerin and Fils of Lyons at 30 days sight and notify the secretary of the Council of that action. Mioland also sends a copy of the new form which they wish Rese to fill out as he promised. They beg him also to add details of the diocese for their information and the edification of the readers of the Annals. Rese understands the importance of this information since it is the life of the Association and almost of the mission since the Austrian government has reduced to almost nothing the publications of the Leopoldine Association. Rese will receive copies of the Annals which will be sent by the treasurer of the Council at Paris, Mr. Choiselat, who will inform him exactly of the matter. Mioland wishes also to inform Rese of a decision made by those who have the administration of the goods of the Association. Rese knows that some missions send persons to Europe to beg for help. These delegates often visit places in which the Association exists. Therefore they make the following observations concerning the results of such actions: 1. There is a diminution of the funds of the Association., 2. There is danger to the work if these men do not conduct themselves correctly,, 3. Damage is done among those who do not read the Annals and who will not understand why these men should beg for the same missions for while the Association has collected money., Consequently it is to be understood for the future that the acceptance of the aid of the Association implies the renunciation of the right to collect funds in the places where the Association is established. :: III-2-g L.S.
