When the draft of Rese on the bankers V. Guerin and Fils for the 1837 allocation was presented the bankers called attention to the fact that it did not conform to the note which the Association of the Propagation sent him, nor does it conform to the figure for last year's allocation in which they asked him to make a draft for 9,000 francs instead of 9,545 francs. It is true that the no. 58 of the Annalee did say the allocation was different but Rese must understand that the figures cannot be changed arbitrarily without upsetting their accounts, especially since these accounts are entirely closed. Of the 545 francs in question, 500 francs had already been paid by the treasurer of the Council at Paris and sent to the German Redemptorists for the account of the diocese of Detroit, a payment authorized by the council, as an exception. The other 45 francs had been sent directly as a special gift to a missionary of the diocese. To regularize this mistake there remains only to consider the 545 francs as a payment in advance of sums which will be allotted in the future to the diocese of Detroit. Rese will understand why they have to take such care to avoid the criticisms of those who are jealous of the work of the Association. They profit by this occasion to recall their demand for a letter which they can show regarding the box containing the subscriptions received at Turin by M. Reynaud. They await an answer on this point. :: III-2-g L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
