Baraga not only relates his troubles and afflictions, but he complains bitterly that the Bishop had not sent him even one consoling word when he needed so much encouragement. The mission has been established on the American side and the house will be finished in a few weeks, but he has no teachers for the school. Besides, he must have money to support the persons belonging to the mission, to buy whatever is needed, for without money nothing is given to the mission. He implores the Bishop to send him at least the amount which was expressly sent from Vienna for the benefit of the mission., He then cites in German what Mr. Lichtenberg from Vienna had written to him concerning the money, 1. Mr. Lichtenberg encourages Father Baraga to write much and often, because these letters bear good priests., 2. On July 20, 1833, 2,000 florins c.m. were sent to Bishop Rese of which 1,261 francs were expressly assigned to Baraga and were to be paid to him immediately for a receipt., 3. Those 5,000 francs which had been assigned to Baraga before, have been increased now to 6,262 francs more than 2,500 florins c.m. which, Mr. Lichtenberg hopes will still increase, as Baraga has many loving friends and kinsmen in Europe., Baraga continues, in French, that he has received none of that money. He hopes that he will never be a financial burden to the Bishop, because he thinks that his friends will never let him down. He begs the Bishop to come next summer to Grand-River, because if he cannot speak with him soon he will not be able to keep his wretched establishment any longer. He asks the Bishop to forward the included letter by mail and pay for it. Also to pay back to Father Vincent Badin whatever this priest had spent for Baraga's letters. In the postscript Baraga asks the Bishop to send him number 5 of the report of the Leopoldine Association, as he possesses all numbers except number 5. :: III-2-g A.L.S. parts in German and French 2pp. 8vo.
