Father Baraga left New York November 3, and not on the 1st as it was announced. The trip took only 23 1/2 days to Liverpool. From Liverpool to London, he took the train as he wanted to see England. He spent only seven days in England. On December 7, he arrived in Paris. He immediately looked for Father Abbott Perreau, whom he found to be like a real father. He can hardly enumerate all this good Abbot has done for him. Baraga's mission affairs are getting along nicely. The council of the Association of the Propagation of the Faith, which is established in Paris as well as in Lyon, has unanimously granted to have his two Indian books printed in Paris. They have voted for 3000 copies instead of 2000 of each book and have started already one of the two. Baraga's German book the history, the character, etc. of the Indians has also been requested by his printer, Mr. Bailly, who will have it translated into French in 15 days. Then Baraga will send the original to Vienna to have it printed in German. His book in the Carniole language was sent to Laibach Jugoslavia where he hopes to find the book already printed to a large extent when he arrives. He has met Mr. Didier Petit of Lyon and given him all the information as Rese would have desired, also about the "Annales" as soon as possible. At the next publication in Lyon there will be a great deal about the Bishop himself, his grand work of the past and future. Baraga is to give Mr. Petit a plan of the necessary expenditures required for the establishment of his new mission on Lake Superior. The Parisians are quite interested in the Indian missions. Baraga has been invited to several dinners where he had to talk about them. He thinks that his books will be received favorably and hopes that he can get some profit out of them, at least so the printer has promised. He intends to finish the two Indian books by January, 1837. Baraga has met Father Vincent Badin's sister, Mrs. Chartier. She and Miss Hubert are well. His address in Paris is: c/o Mr. Bailly, printer, 2 Place Sorbonne. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 3pp.
