18. Writing by Packet which will sail tomorrow to Choiselat Gallien in acknowledgment of remittance 9,600 francs - to D^r O'Connell in acknowledgment of £187.5 - to Mrs. Browne, to Mr. Dismore, and to London Joint Stock Bank enclosing Choiselat Gallien's bill of exchange.

The Nuns have written to the Society of the Propagation, to Mr. O'Brien, Revd. Mr. O'Brien, Miss O'Beirne, Mrs. Hogan, Mr. Walsh, Gavin.

The amount granted to the Vicariate by the Society of the Propagation for the year 1848 amounts to 14,400 francs or £576 - but on the portion forwarded by D^r O'Connell there has been a loss of £5 - and I suppose at least or much more will be charged for commission on the other, before it is paid.
