After 30 years of persecution by the flint-hearted Yankee, the Indians have found a beautiful site for a church where they hope no steel-hearted exterminators will disturb them. During Father Louis Baroux's sojourn in Europe, Father John Cappon of Niles furnished the plan for the church. Materials have been given and purchased with cheerfulness. The Indians are pained to learn from Baroux that Lefevere wishes them to remit to him the $1,000 Baroux got for them from the Association of the Propagation in Paris. Money will be required to pay laborers, and for sundry articles. Shall they have Baroux, who lives 18 miles away, go to Dowagiac to telegraph Lefevere for money, not knowing when Lefevere is in Detroit? The Indians would like to know why Lefevere is so much alarmed about the money. Had he thrown obstacles the same way, Silver Creek would be without a church today. ` Signed by William Sinagowa, Sidone Motz, John Winchester, Joseph Nany, Alexis Chenigas :: III-2-k A.L.S. 5pp. 4to.
