He supposes that his first letter of Jan. 27 to General Ely Parker, Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington, has been read by all the Bishops. The letter concerned his rights to certain Indian Reservations in his Diocese. He supposes they read also Parker's answer, and the letter of Bishop A.M.A. Blanchet of Nesqualy to Hon. C Delano, Secretary of the Interior. He encloses his second letter of July 8 to Parker, the answer of the Secretary of Interior to the same, and Blanchet's reply of Sept. 12 in a pamphlet. He renewed his protest in his name and in the names of all the Bishops of the country. He made it and now wants approbation for the step. He would like two copies, one for himself and the other for the Secretary of the Interior. He thinks that this is the time for all the Bishops to make their claims and send them to Washington and to Father Peter J. DeSmet for further publication. Now is the time to resist the taking away of their privileges to labor among the Indians, and not to submit to have men appointed agents for the Indians, who, professing Catholicity, will not allow a priest upon their reservations. This has happened in Washington Territory, New Mexico and Arizona. They must reclaim their rights and make proper remonstrances against the unjust distribution of agencies and the hostile conduct of many Protestants in the Catholic Indian reservations. P.S. He desires to know what action the Bishops have taken. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
