Baraga arrived in Lapointe June 28, where he received only the Bishop's letter of May 4; the other letter got lost. He was instructed about an error he made in an important case, both by the Bishop and by a letter of Mgr. Power of Toronto. Baraga had not known the rules of Pope Benedict XIV and Pope Clement XIII. He wrote a long letter to Monseigneur and hopes that he is satisfied. When the Bishop comes on his visit, Baraga intends to discuss that matter in detail with him. He also apologizes for not having kept better order in his affairs of last year. He includes two blanks which the Bishop can fill out to send him more money for his new mission. It is worthy of the sacrifice. Mrs. Cotte, the schoolteacher, died April 5, after having been ill all winter and on June 26, her husband died of grief. All winter long Baraga himself kept school until he left L'Anse. The mission in L'Anse is not as big as the one in Lapointe, therefore he could teach there. Now he can sign himself with right: schoolteacher. Baraga is terribly disappointed that Father Otto Skolla is not yet in Lapointe. He belongs there. The Bishop should send him there this summer, immediately, so he would arrive before Baraga has to depart at the end of August. Baraga begs the Bishop to give his consent directly so he can show the letter to the people of Lapointe who are very unhappy about not having a priest with them. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp.
