Baraga Father Frederick, Mackinaw Michigan, to Bishop Frederick Rese, Detroit, Michigan, 1835 June 11
Scope and Contents
Baraga asks Bishop rese to bring a chalice with him as he had left his chalice, which he had brought from his own country, at Grand River. Baraga arrived in Mackinaw on June 10 at 4 a.m. and has already found an opportunity to go to L'Arbre Croche. There he will wait for the Bishop. Father hopes that the Bishop will decide that the poor Indians on Lake Superior who have wanted a missionary for such a long time, will finally have their request granted. He is afraid that these Indians might become discouraged if they have to wait another year. The Indians at L'Arbre Croche, however, are at present strong enough in their religion to be able to wait easily a year for another priest. Baraga hopes that Father Simon Saenderl has arrived in Detroit in good health and is sorry that he could not see him. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 1p. 8vo.
