He is just an Indian missionary, persecuted for the last seven years, but he still follows closely the work of the Church, and especially all useful and needed publications. He read the review of Brownson's "The Religion of Ancient Craft Masonry" by J. B. Mueller of the German "Voice of Truth". He can only afford to send $1. for distribution of the pamphlet, but will say Masses for more copies of the pamphlet. He praises Orestes A. Brownson who so heroically distinguished himself laboring for the propagation of true doctrines. Between 1870-77 he used most of his $300 to $400 yearly salary helping poor people and buying Catholic papers, pamphlets and books to help in the conversion of the world. But he was merely persecuted, as is seen in Mystics. He labored in the Ottawa Indian language until he had composed words to translate any verse of the New Testament into Indian. He wanted to correct editions of the so-called Catholic Indian books which contain horrible, bad and very innocent expressions. Bishop Frederick Baraga furnished most of the epistles and gospels, some meditations, prayers and hymns in Indian, but he missed many words needed to express abstract ideas, and some un-Catholic Expressions as found in Protestant Indian testaments crept in. He explained this to Father CamiliusP. Maes but received severe blows, quasi per Ecclesiam. If only the now Bishop Maes would take his case to Rome, justice would be done. He is persecuted and a horrible expression against the Immaculate Virgin remains in the so-called Catholic Indian books. Indians say he alone knows enough about the language to correct the books. The word speaks of the Virgin as "double-faced." Wily Satan has blinded Catholics and driven them to rash acts against Father Zorn, thus the error remains. The Rev. N. L. Sifferath knows too little theology and Indian to correct the blunders. Repeatedly in 1883 he told Rev. G Graf that the Church does not need crooked ways, when his treatment appeared very crooked to him. As Rev. Ernest Van Dyke is a near relative of Brownson, he presumes Brownson knows about priests, and what it means to be singled out and run down as not one in 2000 experiences. May God direct Brownson to convince the Americans, and convert them. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
