Lambert writing for the President informs Lefevere that the two councils of the Association of the Propagation, of Paris and Lyons, have allotted the diocese of Detroit 53.200 francs for the fiscal year 1842. If Lefevere compares this sum to the allotments of other dioceses for same period he will realize that the councils have taken well into consideration the needs of the Detroit diocese. It is the largest but one of this year's allocations to single diocese. The council has no need to remind Lefevere that the two councils especially the Parisian want as much information as possible on the state of missions. The council will be happy to receive reports on the needs and progress of Religion in a country where, though there is much to do, the presence and zeal of a bishop with whom the Council was familiar will open an era of regeneration. Countersigned by G. Choiselat Gallien as treasurer. :: III-2-g L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
