The printing of Baraga's Indian books is finished and they were printed in two dialects: in Ottawa and Chippewa. Baraga received 2408 francs for them. The council of Association of the Propagation of Faith consented to pay the expenses and may also pay the bookbinder which will amount to about 1300 francs. If the council does not pay for them, he will try to have them done somewhere else. In Detroit, the printing of these books would cost at least $1200. The members of the council are satisfied with the books and so is Baraga. He hopes that a great spiritual benefit will come out of it as five Indian tribes will be able to read these books, namely the Ottawas, Chippewas, Pottowatomies, Manominic, and the Algonquins. The German manuscript about the manners and customs of the Indians is translated into French and already in print. Baraga hopes to bring a few copies to the Bishop on his return to the states. The Austrian embassy sent the manuscript to the Leopoldine Association Vienna. Baraga's Sister Antoinette Baraga intends to go back with Baraga to take charge of the school in his mission for the rest of her life. She is already in Paris, waiting for Baraga's return from Rome and Vienna. He is very happy about it. He left Paris on February 21, and arrived in Lyon on the 24th. He made the acquaintance of Bishop Fleming of New Foundland who is on his way to Rome and very happy to have met Baraga, as the Bishop knows neither French nor Italian and had consequently great difficulties traveling through Europe. :: III-2-g A.L.S.
