Letter. The Potawatomie Indians have asked Brother Joseph to ask Richmond to pay them at Pokagon. They would like Richmond to see their progress in civilization and agriculture. If they continue to exert themselves, in a few years they will be quite comfortable. Brother Joseph does not believe it would be an injustice for him to ask for a remuneration for his labor. The first year he was on the expenses of his Society. The second year the Indians requested Mr. Robert Stuart to give him two-hundred dollars which he used to feed them. This year the Indians wish him to have three-hundred dollars and this is to continue so long as the Society sees to their spiritual and temporal welfare and keeps the chapel and school in order. Brother Joseph can spend little more time with the Indians, but there will always be one priest and two Sisters of Charity with them. He would like Richmond to give an admonition to Peter Pokagon, the chief, as he has been drunk four or five times since Brother Joseph arrived.
