Baroux, Father Louis, Silver Creek, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 April

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Baroux sends the inventory of the church of Silver Creek and Rush Lake. Baroux had sent an inventory in 1861, and asks if he must send one every year. The $1000 for Rush Lake will be at Lefevere's disposal in a few days. Being so far from Rush Lake Baroux cannot trouble about it. The building of Silver Creek church left Baroux reduced to misery and almost starvation. Baroux's failure to visit Detroit on his return to America is due to the delay in New York of Father Gustave Limpens and Father Louis Van Den Driessche. Baroux had promised Father John Cappon to be at Silver Creek on Friday before Pentecost. Lefevere would get more help from the Paris Council of the Association of the Propagation if the needs of the diocese were better known. Baroux itemizes the money lent and money got in Europe, and his expenses there and back. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
