Baraga had recieved no news from the Bishop since the arrival of Father Otto Skolla . He asks the Bishop to bring with him next summer the money which the Archbishop of Vienna had sent to him. He would like to have as much as possible in hard money, the rest in light drafts. At present there are several merchants in L'Anse and Baraga is not obliged anymore to buy everything from the Fur Company. He could have done better shopping before with cash money. He intends to be in L'Anse the greater part of the year. When the Bishop passes through Saut St. Marie next summer he should obtain information from Mr. Barbean in regard to the marriage of Alexis Byron with Angelique Misai. Baraga is very anxious to see the Bishop, he has much to tell him. If the Bishop cannot come, then Baraga will go to Detroit. The Bishop should not forget the temperance pamphlets in the Indian language. Father Otto Skolla told him that all letters to the Bishop have to be prepaid. He did not know this. When he was in Lapointe, he could have done so, because there was a postoffice, but from L'Anse he must send the letters as he can. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp.
