Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Baroux sends $10.15 collected from the missions for the Association of the Propagation, also the inventory and other accounts no enclosures. Since May 1st, Baroux has been away continually on his missions. The Indians of Rush Lake are much displeased about Lefevere's intentions to take the church money for a while. His distrust offends them. Baroux suggests that Father John Cappon's plan be carried out since the Indians have put so much labor in preparing the timber. Refusal to do so will destroy their good will. When Silver Creek's church was built 5 years ago, Lefevere demanded the plans and money. Baroux thinks every rule has an exception; the rules of Councils and synods may be all right for cities but not for missions. When Lefevere visits silver Creek, as he did 2 years ago, he will rejoice. Baroux acknowledges receipt of the Formulary and the Synod. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
