Identifier: CDET III-2-h

Scope and Contents

Baraga is about to leave, the steamer may leave in the evening or next morning. Father B . Pedelupe found that he could not make the retreat before next summer. Baraga agreed with him. Meanwhile Baraga heard confessions of those who confessed in the Indian language and last Sunday he preached in Indian and English. He is very satisfied with Father Pedelupe's efforts, who had already done a great deal in the short time he has been in Saut Ste. Marie, especially in regard to the pews which he had had made for the church. The marriage of Alexis Biron to Angelique Misai which Baraga had performed two years ago and which Monseigneur Power of Toronto had disapproved, has been straightened out perfectly. According to very reliable news, her first husband had died and Father Pedelupe has remarried them in church, after a separation and preparation of 8 days. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French lp. 8vo
