He states in reply to Fr. Gennin's letter that he received no money from that Bureau nor from anyone else in Washington. They sent him two banners which the Indians cut to pieces and used in the procession. The Stations of the Cross they sent them were almost useless, as were most of the other things for which he had no need. He is on his fourth year at the Missions alone because no one helps him. He lives with the Indians for want of a more comfortable house. He asks that this letter be shown to no one and states that he is determined to stay as long as he is left there.
