Baraga had received a letter from Father Jean Baptist Menet S.J. in which he states that Father M.S.V. Hanipaux S.J. will not be in Sault Ste. Marie until July 10, and that he intends to go then on a mission to Lake Superior by himself. Menet volunteered to go to Baraga's missions but as he can only speak French, which is less needed, as there are only a few neglectful Canadians about the mines, Baraga wrote him not to go at all. Baraga begs the Bishop to send Father Angelus van Paemel to Lake Superior and have him take the instructions which Baraga wrote down and which must be at Sault Ste. Marie. Father Martin Kundig told Baraga that Cardinal James Philipp Fransoni told him repeatedly that Baraga's appointment to become Bishop of Upper Michigan was confirmed at Rome. But there are difficulties about some other candidates and therefore the Bulls do not arrive for so long. :: III-2-i A.L.S. English 1p. 8vo
