Saenderl, C.SS.R., Father Simon, Arbre Croche, Michigan, to Bishop Frederick Rese, Detroit, Michigan, 1837 October 24
Scope and Contents
Saenderl is sending the requested description of the Indian school in Arbre Croche as drawn up by Mr. Augustine Hamelin. Saenderl does not understand why such a description is necessary as the government has not given them any allowances for educational purposes since the treaty of 1836. What the government had paid to the Bishop was for missionary purposes and not for the schools. Saenderl regrets that the priest destined for Green Bay is still in Europe. He is expected soon. But meanwhile a dozen of heretical ministers have no opposition in their work as Father John T. Vandenbroek does not visit the Bay, because his garden might be robbed in his absence. He may do it when all his fruit is in his barn. The mission of Arbre Croche will soon die a natural death as many Indians intend to settle in Canada in the Summer of 1838. Saenderl thinks he may become an anchorite. He received the "Catholic Library" which Rese had sent him. :: III-2-g A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
