He assures Lefevere that his health is now excellent and that he is preparing immediately to return to the Detroit diocese. He longs to see Lefevere again and to be among his good savages and Irish at Pokagon who have been so neglected since his departure in 1852. The church there is in a sad condition. Father John DeNeve wrote him that the population has considerably increased; the church at Rush Creek Michigan has no cross and Dowagiac Michigan is in a pitiable state. Baroux hopes to contact Mr. Berard des Glajeux of the Propagation of the Faith at Paris for help. It is the bishop who should request money; Baroux's purpose is to acquaint the Propagation with the miserable state of his mission and that of Father DeNeve's. The occasion of this year of jubilee should be favorable for greater funds. He will depart toward the end of December. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
