See consequence is that the Bishop is now detained in Paris, without adequate excuse for detaining him. Under these circumstances I have communicated to Becky Davis. Steffans however, on application being made (I understand at the instance) of a grant is sought. This undersigned has requested one under your Lordship's consideration: and I ventured to solicit the tender of such a grant from your Lordship, so may enable him, and at least one attendant or Secretary to return to China. A vessel will sail about 13th of May by which the Bishop is anxious to return.
They requested one to bring them to the notice of your Lordship if favourable attention to it. & Janis will be freed from his former embarrassing position, such as his destination, in a colony where the Catholic Episcopacy has to suggest your Lordship's favourable attention on his destination, in a colony.
Another similar case. She is the Revd Davis has been seemingly forced to promote the best interests both of the Coadjutor to Archbishop Polding or Sydney, and has ensured his episcopal consecration for that purpose. He is also appointed Vicar Apostolic in the District of Brisbane. Archbishop Polding stated that he had left in Britain a sum for Sydney, under the information trade arrangements for Dr Davis carrying the sum of £150.
This information from the Colonial Office for outfit and passage.
I have the honor to be Your Lordship's obedient Servant
