, Father Baraga is still worried about the relative who intends to come to devote her life to the mission. He had received a letter from his older sister in which she wrote that it is the younger sister who is coming and that the Bishop gave her the permission to come. Baraga is quite distressed about that, because she knows no French and will never be able to learn it well. She will be very unhappy. Baraga wrote to her immediately not to come. If she gets the letter before she left, Baraga is sure she will not come. His older sister Amalia Baraga also informed him in the same letter that many beautiful and practical articles are being sent to him from Laibach Jugoslavia. Baraga implores Rese again most seriously to let him have everything, because his relations have bought these things from their own money. Also Baraga wants all the money that was collected for him in Laibach Jugoslavia. Baraga is willing to pay all the freight bills, which are due to him. But if the goods should not come over Cincinnati, then that precaution is unnecessary. Baraga entreats Rese again to be sure and come in spring as he has many things to discuss, which cannot be discussed in letters., P.S. Written on April 20, Baraga says that he could not send the letter when he wrote it. He is able now to send it to Mackinac. He doubts whether this letter will still reach Rese in Cincinnati. :: III-2-g A.L.S. German 2pp. 8vo.
