He thanks him for sending him the church bell but he thanks him especially in the name of all the Indians of L'Arbre croche who are very happy to hear their bell again. Upon the advice of the bookbinder-Brother Alois Schuh-Baraga had not sent the pages which are missing from the Ottawa books to Father V. Badin, but once he had sent 40 bound Ottawa books to Father Louis Deseille and another time 10 more. Baraga advises Badin to send the incomplete books which were left to Father Simon Sanderl in L'arbre croche or to ask once more for the missing pages. Baraga asks Badin to buy for him a box of candles and have them sent to him., P.S. Baraga had heard from Mr. Ant. Campeau that a young man from Detroit, called Boissonau, wants to come to work for him.
