Enclosed are the details of Baraga's little mission. If the Bishop should wish any other information Baraga will do his best to satisfy him. But he cannot give reports about any other mission as for instance Father Francis Pierz's, because he was never in that part of the country, but he hopes that it will become a very interesting mission. Father Otto Skolla should remain at least another year in or around Detroit to learn French properly, because he cannot be of use to Baraga without the knowledge of French. But in and around Detroit are many Germans, he can be of use to them and at the same time study French. As the Bishop has been very kind to Baraga and tried to satisfy his petitions, Baraga asks for one thing more the little box of candle ends which the Bishop has in his Cathedral. He should send it: c/o Mr. Livingston, Saut de Ste. Marie. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp.
