Scope and Contents

Father Baraga is quite pleased with his little chapel because it was built in such a short time and is not only paid for but through the Fur Company even overpaid. One priest's house is not yet finished. This is the fault of the firm who had at first promised to erect the chapel and the priest's house at the same time. The building which Mr. Michel Cadotte had given to Baraga for a priest's house was started, but then they stopped working and no urging has induced them to keep their promises. Soon after the Company's boat had arrived no one could work for Baraga anymore. He is glad to subscribe to the Catholic Periodical Library. The $20.00 which Father V. Badin had donated for 100 intentions can be consigned for that purpose. Father Badin should pay for five years in advance and send the receipt to Baraga. In case of death, Baraga's heir will receive the subscription. Baraga thanks Badin for having troubled so much for his winter clothes, but it is not Badin's fault that they have not yet arrived. Father is very anxious to know whether and when the Bishop goes to Europe. Baraga has finished almost all the 210 intentions. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
