Gallien, G. Choiselat, Treasurer, Paris, France, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1847 March 31
Scope and Contents
The Central Council of Paris of the Association of the Propagation of Faith allocates to the diocese of Detroit for the fiscal year a sum of 29,760 francs in two drafts, payable forty and sixty days on sight. Gallien encloses the forms of the draft furnished by the first and second bill of exchange and asks Lefevere to fill in the date and the order and to indicate the sum in all letters over Lefevere's signature. The writer warns Lefevere that on account of the regularity of his accounts he will only be able to make payment on the sums drawn on Gallien's or the detached drafts and as many drafts as will bear Lefevere's or a proxy's signature to a letter expressly addressed to the administration of the Society of the Propagation of Faith at Paris. P.S. Because of a falling off of receipts, there is a proportionate reduction of 240 francs on the 30,000 francs allocated to Detroit, making the sum in the two drafts amount to 29,760. :: III-2-h A.D.S.
