Little Chute Dec. 1869

Dear Sister: Your welcome letter I received the 8 of Dec. I had to go out to Little Chute sister Librada came down to Barton after me so I came up here last evening to settle so affairs. Dear Sister I am more able to tell you about Barton; the first week I was in Barton I got in trouble with Rev. F. he wanted to send Maryann to St. Joseph and I told him it would not do she was to teach the english Catholic school and dont know any manners nor anything but to read so he got angry and said that was only the Capushien that puts it in our head he did not establish the Convent for praying only to teach the ignorant children since the Capinchiens gave us [retreat?] everything went wrong but sisters I let him know after that it made me feel very bad if I could tell you all he said. He took Maryann as far as Milwaukee then he directed her alone to St. Joseph

[margin sideways text] Ecuse this scribling. I wrote it in in such a hurry for we want to take the train at 8 o'clock. Send me down those 40 Doll. for we need it very bad. I suppose you wont be able to read this letter.

Rev. F. send me some letters to Marytown before I left you better send them down to me he is always asking me if you did not send them yet.

I heard from the old teacher that he send a letter to Pates Coystan about him what he said in retort to him but I am not certain he wanted me to go after sister Benedicta to Marytown but I would not do it.

the next day sister Agatha brought her nicely back again they saw Rev. F. in the cass he look as he was wrong. I was very happy indeed the priest send her immediatly back. I told sister Agatha she might Mrs. Pingion but he wanted to send Cacelia and I told him I had promised her to Marytown. He was not pleased again sister Agatha was satisfied with Miss Pingeon he did not want to give up he thought it was not wanted but indeed I did not speak to him. I was going to see what more he was going to do I would told him that he did not keep his word, saturday came he went down and told F Reindel to come and hear our confession what I wished for I did not feel to go to him so he came at two o'clock Rev. F. went first to confession while we were all in the chapel he stayed in long as Lidwina, after we all went. I must say F. Rindel was very good he gave me a most splended sermon it made me feel real happy. The next day Rev F.

was so good and kind to me and gave me several letters to read of his own. I did not know then he praised Pates again and spoke as if nothing happened told us so nice to take chair we did not know what to say he said he would not trouble himself no more we could do as we think was right befor God but those mission that he promise he must give them sisters yet. He send Frances to Salsmann and I send sister [Michtilds] with her they are to teach the parish children that go to the Siminary to Church that is the parish Church they have a nice house there Frances is only gone there till we have a good sister to send there if you would take the english school in St Mary's then sister Bendicta could come down to Barton in Agreton they want sisters too so she could come there tell her to write to me how she feels if she is going to stay or not. But write one soon the Barton
