 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Baraga will have to remain in Cincinati until the latter part of June. He has more than $200—in drafts on the Michigan Insurance Bank etc., which he cannot use in Cincinnati. He will keep them until he returns to Detroit. He asks the Bishop to send him a check on some good Cincinnati bank for the $300—which is to receive this spring. Baraga worries about his flock on Lake Superior. They have no priest when he is gone. He begs the Bishop to send Father Angelus van Paemel immediatley on a missionary visit to L'Anse for 3 weeks and to the 2 mining districts of Ontonagon and Keweenaw Point for 3 weeks each. Van Paemel would be well recompensed by the miners. Baraga encloses a note to van Paemel. :: III-2-i A.L.S. English 1p. 8vo.
