Scope and Contents

Genin upon returning from sick calls has received a letter from the mission priest at Keshena, Wisconsin in Green Bay Diocese, Father Amandus Maschelein and considering the matter important has written McMaster immediately. He calls attention to a notice in Fr. J.B. Brouillet's Annals of January, 1878, stating that the sum of $190.00 was being given in favor of the Keshena mission, or as Fr. Brouillet has spelled it, Kreshena. He encloses a letter from Fr. Marschelein enclosure not present which shows that the entire sum of $190.00 never reached the mission. Genin holds the indian Bureau responsible for the outrage. He gives McMaster permission to publish all of the letter of Fr. Marschelein except the parts he has marked. He says that the missionary at Baraga, Diocese of Marquette, Father Gerhard Terhost, is the only priest who really received what was said to be allowed him of $100.00 Conditions in the Diocese of Marquette are in such a condition that if the man elected to succeed Bishop Ignatius Mrak, is really appointed it will be greatly worse. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
