 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-g

Scope and Contents

Baraga is quite distressed about his money. He is building a new church and he implores the Bishop to let him have the money which is his, according to all rights. He includes a letter from his agent in Triest, Italy, Mr. J.P. Suppautschitsch, who informs Baraga of all the money that was sent to him from Europe since his return to America. But Baraga has received only about $255 - which Father Vincent Badin has sent him through Mr. William Brewster. Baraga demands now from the Bishop the rest of the money which should be sent through Mr. W. Brewster, Agent of the American Fur Company in Detroit Michigan. Baraga thinks it must be at least $400. The mission is in good order. Baraga is building a larger church on a very beautiful spot. He wants the two enclosed letters back again. :: III-2-g A.L.S. German 3pp.
