Schwarz received Lefevere's letter of July 25, 1844. He asks Lefevere to give all the information he can in his letters about Catholics, particularly the German ones. The complaints of German Catholics have obliged the Leopoldine Association to change their former resolutions of indiscriminate relief by means of the Bishops and to make donations also to German missionaries. Schwarz was not quite sure of this opinion and was the sole cause at the meeting on April 26 of determining that only about half the funds be so appropriated. Therefore in Lefevere's diocese the following amounts were fixed: 200 florins for Father Frederick Baraga ; 1000 florins for Father Andrew Viszoczky; Pittsburgh, 5000 florins; New York, 1000 florins; Dubuque, 3000 florins; Milwaukee, 3000 florins; Boston, 3000 florins; Natchez, 2000 florins; Little Rock, 2000 florins; Chicago, 2000 florins; Hartford, 2000 florins; Philadelphia, 4000 florins; Jesuit missions, 4000 florins; Texas, 3000 florins. Schwarz asks for a yearly report addressed to the Prince Archbishop Vincent Edward Milde as President of the Leopoldine Association, in November, giving the conditions of the German Catholics in the diocese. Schwarz will not fail to give it his zealous support. The Nunciature at Vienna has given Schwarz a sum of money for which Lefevere can draw $433 on D. Appleton Co., of New York. Schwarz entreats Lefevere to send with the receipt, information relative to Schwarz's brother and family from whom they seldom hear. This information will be especially very desirable to his aged mother. Detroit is very interesting to Schwarz. He asks Lefevere to give his respects to General Lewis Cass if he sees him and to ask Schwarz's brother to write if he sees him. He would like to know whether Joseph Campau remembers him. In 1820 when Schwarz was in Detroit, Campau was reported to be a bad man but Schwarz found him to be of a good heart and wants Lefevere to remember him to Campau. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. 18
