At the last meeting of the Leopoldine Association on February 15, it was resolved to forward to Lefevere 2000 florins of which 1000 fls. is for Father Frederic Baraga also for the publication of his dictionary and grammar and 33 fls. to Father Andrew Viszoczky with little remaining for Lefevere. He is to consider that their supplies have fallen off and that not only indifference but hatred for all religious establishments has sprung up with the Revolution. Schwarz thanks Lefevere for signing the letter of recommendation to the Holy Father in his behalf. It caused them great sorrow to hear that Father Frederic Baraga's sister has turned Methodist. He would like to receive such a dictionary through his brother. He still takes great interest in all relating to the Indians having lived some months among them. Thirty years ago when he was in Detroit they were encamped about the streets by hundreds. He again commends to Lefevere's spiritual care the salvation of his brother and family. A note on this letter reads "Received and forwarded by your obedient servant P. C. Schwarz, Detroit, May 13, 1850." :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
