Baraga has just received the Bishop's letter of Nov. 15, 1844. He had indeed with great reluctance consented last year, that Mr. Crook should draw $300. form the Bishop's account, but the Bishop does not have to pay it until July 1, 1845 and should consider that sum as a contribution for the year 1845. In 1846 Baraga hopes to receive more help. He wants part of the school fund every year as he is entitled to it. He has been teaching school alone since last fall for Mrs. Cotte has veen bery sick. The Bishop's promise to send potatoes to the starving Indians made Baraga happy. He hopes to get them with the first navigation to sow them this spring. Mr. Livingston will ship them from the Saut. Concerning his Indian Catechism, Baraga states that all mistakes have been corrected and no fault can be found in the doctrine it contains. He thanks the Bishop for the "Ordo", also for the interest he showed in and for the efforts to procure missionaries for Lake Superior. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 1p.
