Baraga received Father Badin's letter of September 28, 1837 on March 5, 1838. He is sorry he cannot send the medals to Badin before the beginning of navigation which is at the end of June. He has brought no other things from Europe for him. The 630 francs which Bishop Frederick Rese had paid for the transport of Baraga's luggage will be paid back by Mr. Logros of Havre, to whom Baraga had sent the money from New York through a Mr. Crooks. The expenses of the printing and binding of the Indian books are supposed to be taken care of by the Association of the Propagation of the Faith. If they charge now the sum to the Bishop, they act against Baraga's intentions, for he had told them that he would rather look somewhere else to have the expenses taken care of, than to have them charged to his poor Bishop. But they replied that he should not worry, that they would print two books for the mission. The 6000 florins about $3345.- of which Bishop Rese speaks, are in Munich Germany and he will receive them at his arrival. Baraga wants to be remembered to Father Clement Hammer and to all the other priests who came to America from Europe in such big numbers. :: III-2-g A.L.S. French 2pp.
