Chatard, Father Silas M, Rector American College,, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 August 31

Father Henry Moeller, a student of the college enjoying the foundation of St. Joseph's Church left here June 28, 1876, having received 840 francs for expenses. In June, 1870 it was resolved that when Burses are left vacant for a length of time, half of the accruing interest shall be placed to the credit of the Burse to pay expenses of any student appointed afterwards and the other half shall be spent for the benefit of the College. When no provision had been made to pay travelling expenses of any student who may be obliged to return home, the Rector may advance the necessary amount, and the Burse shall remain vacant until the interest accruing on it, shall make good the amount advanced. During a vacancy, half of the interest accruing to the College, the Foundation of St. Joseph's Church must remain vacant until 840 francs are reimbursed. :: II-5-f Printed form, signed 1p. 8vo.
