Baraga arrived in Lapointe on Feb. 11, and will leave immediately Fev. 16. for Fond du Lac where he will stay 8 or 10 days. He intends to go back to L'Anse about March 15. Father Otto Skolla is doing very well in Lapointe. The congregation likes him very much, though they miss Baraga. He has a good interpreter for all his sermons and confessions and Baraga is happy to see the Indians go to confession without difficulty. Skolla has made fine progress in studying French and the Indian language. Baraga has written to Bishop John Martin Henni asking him to admit Father Skolla into his diocese and he also asks Bishop Lefevere to grant Skolla his resignation from the Michigan diocese. Baraga mentions again the money which the Bishop is to bring on his next visit. He has contracted another debt with the Company and asks the Bishop to pay to Agent Dudgeon $600. and to bring him only $290. in hard money. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 1p.
