Father Baraga had felt uneasy because he was not sure whether he followed his own will or God's will in establishing the new mission at L'Anse. After having received on May 18 the Bishop's letter of March 20, 1844 he is happy to know through the mouth of his Superior that he did the will of God. This gives him courage to bear the sorrows and cares which always go with the establishments of a new mission. He thanks the Bishop for the presents and especially for the $300. he sent for the mission. Baraga has sent an order on the Bishop to Mr. Borup in Lapointe, who holds Baraga's accounts and will sent the money to the agent in Detroit, who will present it to the Bishop. Baraga's little mission is doing nicely. On Easter day he baptized again 6 Indians. The number of pupils increased to 60. Mr. and Mrs. Cotte teach school, through Mr. Cotte is not obliged to do so. Baraga hopes that the Bishop will find consolation when he comes to visit them. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp.
