Baraga is sending Mr. Erhard Buttner back to Bishop Lefevere, though he came with an excellent recommendation. Baraga was ready to go to the Lake Superior missions when Buttner arrived. Baraga intended to ordain him and employ him after he had returned. But on further consideration and consultation he found that no place in Baraga's poor diocese was suitable for Buttner. So he cannot receive him. Baraga asks Lefevere to put him into a German congregation. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
