In the Silver Jubilee Lyons published in 1869 and also in the Notre Dame Scholastic a few weeks ago, Baroux has been the victim of the most glaring ingratitude. On page 39 Lyons said that in 1849 the shops and kitchen were destroyed by fire and that Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. took measures to have the frame building replaced by a brick one built behind the church. Lyons gets rid, without scruple or shame, of a debt of gratitude. If Lyons does not know the measures Sorin took, Baroux will tell him. At that time, Baroux had been sick for four months with lung fever contracted on a sick call to St. Joseph, Michigan when Sorin wrote begging Baroux to go to France to solicit money. Sorin wrote again and sent that letter to Pokagan by two orphans. Sorin said he had no other priest to spare, that if Baroux could not go they would be obliged to send away all the orphans. Baroux undertook the mission. For 15 months he preached 3 or 4 times in different churches and had to go to bed several times a day. He was under the care of the doctor. This is the way Baroux collected over $3,700, 18694 francs besides 75 chasubles. This was the measure taken. Lyons would not have disgraced his book by telling the truth; his silence is a black spot in the history of Notre Dame . Two years later, Baroux collected for the mission of Bengal 4133 francs and 25 chasubles. Does Lyons understand with what indignity he has treated Baroux? Baroux will send him the amount collected in different places; the amount was registered at the Motherhouse and Notre Dame. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
