Excerpt from In the International Arbitral Court of the Hague: The Case of the Pious Fund of California, Statement of the Proceedings and Letter to the Most Reverend P. W. Riordan, Archbishop of San Francisco, Cal In 1882, and again in 1883, it was proposed to me by Archbishop Alemany to take steps to collect from Mexico further installments of the interest on the Pious Fund. I wrote him, pointing out some difficulties which arose from the wording of our former contract, and which I wished settled first and leaving the settlement to him, so it was not until 1884 when he renewed his request for further efforts in the Pious Fund case, and I again insisted on his deciding the unsettled question mentioned in my letter in 1883, that he gave me an answer, and thereupon engaged me for such further effort. It was agreed that the compensation of myself and my associate, whom I was to select myself, was to be the same as in the former case, viz: 25 per cent of all collected, and that the clause about disbursements which had led to a little difference in the former case should be slightly changed.
