Milde, Vincent Edward, Archbishop of, Vienna, Austria, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1850 March 15
Scope and Contents
Lefevere's vicar general, Father Frederic Baraga at L'anse, Michigan has asked for money to subsidize a dictionary of the Chippewa Indian language. Since the Leapoldine Association was founded in the beginning to aid the Indian missions of North America Milde sends a draft at three months for 2 thousand florins or 174 English pounds, and a thousand florins is sent for Baraga. Of the other thousand, 33 florins are destined for Father Andrew Viszoczky at St. Mary's mission at Grand River Rapids. He hopes that Lefevere will handle these funds and if he thinks them less than was expected in American dollars this is because of the turbulent political conditions and because of the great demands on the Austrian bank. Milde asks Lefevere to pray for him now 27 years a bishop and 50 years a priest. :: III-2-h L.S. Latin 1p. 8vo.
