The Central Councils of the Association of the Propagation of the Faith have allotted to the diocese of Detroit from the 1851 collections, the sum of 7500 francs, of which one-fifth will not be available until it is seen that the receipts do not fall below those of the preceding year. They regret that this year the Councils have reduced the subsidies for some missions. Being obliged to admit establishments in newly created sees into the distribution of the Associations resources they have had to take away from the old ones. They know that they can rely on the heart of a Bishop to embrace, in his charity, those wandering, scattered tribes with whom they must divide. In a postscript Glejeux adds that the distribution of the first installment has ended. This installment is 1500 francs for the diocese of Detroit for which amount the treasurer encloses a draft. This letter is signed by Glajeux as president and Choiselat Gallien as treasurer. :: III-2-h L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
