Scope and Contents

Baraga stopped again in Lapoint on his way from Fond du Lac to L'Anse. He intends to go on the next day. Again Baraga asks the Bishop to consent to Father Otto Skolla's dismissal from the diocese. He also asked Bishop Henni to accept and confirm Skolla as a missionary in his diocese. Skolla is very useful in Lapointe and the congregation would not like to lose him. This also help Baraga as he could spend more time at his own mission. Once more Baraga gives instructions about the money sent for him from Vienna. Now he wants that all $890 from Vienna be given to the agent of the Fur Company. Mr. Dudgeon, because it is the shortest and surest way. Should the Bishop have given $600 already to Mr. Dudgeon then he should give him the remaining $290. When he comes to present an order for $890 which Baraga had sent him. Baraga asks the Bishop's pardon for troubling him so much. He wishes to see the Bishop to tell him of his love and reverence for him. P.S. Baraga informs the Bishop about Mr. Feorau and asks him to send him the enclosed letter. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 1p.
