De Verna F. President, Lyon, France, to Bishop Frederick Rese, Detroit, Michigan, 1838 July 16
Scope and Contents
Conforming to the instructions in Rese's letter of May 28, concerning the alms collected in Sardinia, they have made a copy of his letter for Father Reynaud and kept a copy for their own use in reference to the necessary steps that may be necessary in Turin to secure the sums of which there is question for the treasury of the Association of the Propagation. The answer that was made to them forced them to have recourse to Rese. This response was in effect what they presumed. Some have refused to fulfill their requests, but only until Rese could testify by a special letter his intention regarding the subscriptions which have been received in his name. They beg him to have the kindness to send them some lines for that special purpose which they can send to Turin and Genoa for the funds of which they speak., P.S. They include a receipt for 100 francs which has come to Mr. Deverna, the president of the Association of the Faith at Lyons for money he gave to Mr. McCosker, a missionary of the diocese of Detroit who landed at Marseilles with the intention of joining Rese at Paris but who lacked the means of continuing his journey. DeVerna paid this our\t of his personal funds with the thought that Rese would authorize him to reimburse himself at the next allocations of funds. ` L.S.
