Van Paemel is very grateful to have the news that his brother has arrived at Lefevere's residence. His health has become really burdensome to him. He had hoped that the climate and food here would help him. The last few days he has spent the greatest part of the afternoon in chopping wood and obtained through Father Frederic Baraga other food as meat, which agree with him much better than fish. But he does not think that he can always obtain meet there and he would undoubtedly be able to chop wood only as long perhaps as he would be studying the language there. Therefore he begs Lefevere to recall him soon. He thought he did so with the consent of Baraga but several days later Baraga, an Indian missionary soul and body, came and told him that it was perhaps not right before God to act that way. Van Paemel's daily occupation now is to keep school two hours a day: the rest of his leisure time he spends in the study of theology and the English language. :: III-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
