Although the funds of the Leopoldine Association have decreased nearly one half since 1848, the directors are so penetrated with the necessities of Lefevere's diocese that they have again allotted 4000 florins to his diocese. Lefevere's attention is called to the condition of German Catholics in his diocese and a report on them is desired. Schwarz hopes that his brother P.C. Schwarz had delivered to Lefevere the metal cross sent by Schwarz for the use of the Bishop of Detroit and his letter of November 20, 1851. He repeats his wish that the cross may long continue to be borne before Lefevere. He begs Lefevere to give the enclosed to his brother personally, if possible, and to prepare him as it contains the news of the death of their mother. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
