Rese has received Badin's letter and gives him carte blanche powers which he is to use with prudence and precaution. He sends two pages with his signature so that he can get powers of attorney for Mr. Godfrey for Monroe, Michigan and Mr. Maxwell for Washington, D.C. Where these matters will terminate at the next congress. Maxwell will know if the powers of attorney are necessary. Rese charges Badin to fill them out before Mr. Van Dyke and that they are to be used to sue and to be sued and without power to seal. He leaves in a few hours for Paris. Badin is to write him at Paris to be called for in 15 or 20 days., P.S. Mr. Godfrey of Monroe having Rese's Power of attorney he should take care of all his property, personal and ecclesiastical in the county of Monroe which should include the land of Macon ?. Rese will go directly to Anvers to send Badin Father J.B. DeBruyn immediately. Badin should go to Bertrand and find out how Father Stanislaus Bernier has placed the land of Pokagon in his own name which is contrary to the laws of the Church. :: III-2-g A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
