Choiselat Gallien, J., Paris, France, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 August 28

The Central Council of Paris of the Propagation of the Faith judges that it is in the general interest to explain its administration. The administration is composed of two Councils, one in Paris, the other at Lyons. Both are Central Councils, entirely equal, except that the Annales are published at Lyons. The funds are distributed by the vote of the two Councils. Therefore they ask that the heads of the missions annually send a report on the state of their churches and that they send a copy to each Council. It is these letters which inspire interest and consequently, donations. Collelu de Baudevière ? this name is difficult to decipher signs for the president, Choiselat Gallien as treasurer. P.S. Blanc's diocese has not been forgotten for 1843. The funds will not be in the treasury until the first part of next year. :: V-4-o Printed Form L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
