Jesse, A _____ de, President, Lyons, France, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefebvere Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1842 July 14
Scope and Contents
The Council of the Association of the Propagation informs Lefevere that the Paris Council is in charge this year of sending him the allocation granted by the two councils for 1842 to the diocese of Detroit. The treasurer will arrange with him about the manner and periods of payment. The Council sends Lefevere a copy of the customary list of demands for annual information requesting him to fill out its columns as well as possible and return it. Lefevere should send this list as well as other information of any kind so as to reach the Council of Lyons before May 1 when it begins to make the allotments. The Council asks also for correspondence Lefevere may consider suitable to be inserted in the Annals. Lefevere knows how the interest in the collection compiled and printed at Lyons furnishes a foundation for the Propagation of the Faith. The Council hopes he will not refuse., P.S. The amount of the allocation granted the Detroit diocese for the current year proves the interest with which the Council received the letter he sent them February 15 last. The future would have gained greater importance for Lefevere if he could realize as the council members do how inadequate are their resources to meet all the needs from all sides for establishing more missions and for the development of Dioceses and institutions. Jesse asks Lefevere to join him in prayer for the success of the work and an increasing ability to support missions. :: III-2-g L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
