Baraga's letters of Dec. 26 and Feb. 6 were received. Stuart perceives that Father Baraga has a number of scholars out regrets, as he left La Pointe, that he did not select a station or band where there was no other mission or school. According to his experience it is exceedingly injurious to have two institutions of different denominations stationed among the same band; discord and jealousies will inevitably arise. Mr. Placidus? Ord will forward to him a circular issued by order of the War Department on the subject. He hopes that Father Baraga will select some destitute band, so as to become entitled to a share of the education fund which cannot be granted to two schools in the same band. P.S. Mr. Ord will forward a circular issued by order of the War Department, the spirit of which he has no doubt Baraga will take pleasure in promoting. Stuart signs as Acting Superintendent of Indian Affairs :: III-2-h L.S. 1p. 8vo.
