Scope and Contents

Purcell's note had traveled a month before it reached Baraga. He has no subject, for the discussion; he never has any in his simple remote diocese. In order to reach Cincinnati in time for the council he must start by foot for Mackinac, about two days and a half. Navigation seldom commences there before May 1st. He hopes to find boats at Mackinac which is an open place where the winds break away the ice. Baraga is an old Indian missionary inured to such inconveniences. :: II-5-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
