Scope and Contents

Father Saenderl informs Bishop Rese that Father Joseph Prost C.SS.R. has left Green Bay and hopes that Rese has set him at ease again. Saenderl agrees with everything Rese has decided about the Ottawa. He is glad that he can continue the work which he had begun. But Rese must understand that the Redemptorists could not carry on in such a precarious situation as in the past and that the use of a certain amount of government money must be guaranteed to them. Father Francis X. Haetscher is of the same opinion and would gladly settle among the Indians if the Redemptorists would find tolerable conditions. They cannot remain in Green Bay forever. The few remaining Indians will soon disappear entirely. Saenderl would gladly go to Arbre Croche, if Rese could ensure the Redemptorists a safe stay there. he is convinced that the Indians will be friendly to them. The first steps to that would have to be taken by Rese himself. As soon as their stay is made secure, they will arrange everything so that they can remain there even if all the Indians have left. It seems Father Prost has the intention to return to Europe. :: III-2-g A.L.S. German 2pp. 8vo.
