Schwarz has had no answer to his letter of January 15 but trusts that Lefevere has received the 120 pounds remitted through D. Appleton and company in New York. At a meeting of the Leopoldine Association on April 17, it was resolved, because of the many Germans in Lefevere's diocese, to grant 2000 florins or 200 pounds to which Schwarz gave his support. Schwarz thanks Lefevere for delivering the letter himself to Louis Gruber ; his wife's relatives in Vienna are too poor to help him. Schwarz wants Lefevere to let him know in his next letter when he received the first sum of the Joffroy Foundation . Many years have elapsed without a letter from Schwarz's brother until lately. He takes this opportunity to have the brother present this letter and so afford occasion for Lefevere to use his influence over him. Schwarz was godfather to his eldest daughter. He asks Lefevere to pay Schwarz's respects to General Lewis Cass when he meets him. In the margin Schwarz lists the distributions for 1847 as follows: Oregon 400 pounds, Milwaukee 200, Pittsburgh 400, Texas 300, Cincinnati 300, Chicago 300, St. Louis 400, Charleston 200, Detroit 200, Boston 200, Redemptorists 400, Jesuits 400. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. 17
