Baraga feels extremely grateful to the Bishop for what he had done for him and said to him in his letter of July 30. What he said about Father Otto Skolla will serve as information and advice to Baraga and will settle the matter. He does not know everything of that affair, but from the Bishop's letter he begins to understand. He will not ask the Bishop any more to send Father Skolla to Lapointe. It never was his intention to keep Skolla with him, but to leave him alone in Lapointe. The invitation to meet the Bishop at Mackinac gives Baraga great pleasure, but he is so busy at present that he could not leave without doing wrong to many souls. He has 4 missions to take care of: Grand Partage, Fond du Lac, Lapointe and L'Anse. Baraga thanks the Bishop for the books which he had bound for him and for the help which he had given to his missions. According to the Bishop's instruction Baraga has written out 2 money orders, the first one dated Aug. 14, 1846, payable at sight, the other one dated Jan. 1, 1846 1847?, payable 3O days after sight. The agent of the American Fur Comp. who resides in Detroit, will present them to the Bishop. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo
