Baraga, Father Frederick, Lapointe, Wisconsin, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1844 August 27
Scope and Contents
Father Baraga is again in need of $300. and asks the Bishop for it. It will be the last time for the next two years. To build a settlement is always expensive in the beginning. Mr. Crooks, the president of the Fur Company, would like to have all accounts settled before he leaves, but he gives Father a term of 10 months for the payment. Baraga spoke with Mr. Robert Stuart about the Circular. Mr. Stuart hopes that it will not affect the Catholic Mission in L'Anse and that the blacksmith may continue to work for the Catholics. Baraga is happy that his Indians are left in peace to practice their religion. Mr. Crooks, the bearer of this letter, will tell the Bishop more about Baraga's present situation. :: III-2-h A.L.S.
