In accordance with the information given the Central Council in Paris of the Association for the Propagation of the Faith on the allocation for the diocese of Detroit from the funds of 1847, Lefevere is authorized to draw on Gallien the sum of 9946 francs, 67 centimes. Payment will be made only when the enclosed form is used. In a handwritten postscript Lefevere is informed that the loss sustained in their receipts for 1847 and the predicament they find themselves in have made the Council determine to keep the fifth which was promised only as a contingency. They have put off until the end of the year the work of distribution for 1848. The allocation for Charleston for 1847 was 16,000 francs, for the Redemptorists of the diocese 4,000 making a total of 20,000 francs. Lefevere has received for the Association 10 piastres or 53 fr. 33 c. and Gallien sends by the enclosed draft, 9946-67 making a total of 10,000 fr. There remains for him 10,000 fr. which Gallien hopes to send soon from their holdings. Gallien signs as treasurer. Marked by Lefevere as answered May 19, 1948. Printed form letter. :: III-2-h L.S.
