Baroux could not give in a letter all his accounts, the result of his voyage to Europe, and the reason why he did not collect money on the days appointed. He wanted to see Lefevere in January, but sick calls prevented a visit. At the end of January he was ready to go but friends advised him not to go to escape the same abuse which he received from Lefevere on the 19th and 20th of December, 1849 when he was going to France for the orphans of South Bend. Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., his superior, forced him while weak from illness to go to France in the midst of winter. His only mission to France was to collect for the orphans and not for the Indians. While he was in France, a clergyman of South Bend, Mr. Dussaulx, reported that Baroux had received clothes for every Indian and 3 or 4 thousand dollars. Two years later Mr. Fourmont, Father A. Fourmont and Father Francis Gouesse brought the same story. Berard DesGlajeux wrote to, and Father John DeNeve called on Lefevere after the 1859 retreat to intercede for Silver Creek Mission. Lefevere shut his door against Baroux. After the French bishops would not permit him to preach and collect, Baroux went to the Association of the Propagation of Faith headquarters and got 5,000 francs, independently of Lefevere's share. Baroux went to Louvain in February where his efforts failed also. Father John DeNeve asked Baroux to write a pamphlet about his mission, and he complied. It will be published in Belgium and France. The church at Rush Lake will be built by Simgowa Sinagowa?, the chief and several members. Money for it had been invested by Baroux who is returning it by other loans from people near him. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 8pp. 8vo.
