Scope and Contents Barnabo refers to DeNeve's difficulties as regards dimissorial letters for his students, as expressed in his letter of June 15. Barnabo took the matter to the Holy Father in his audience of August 9; the Pope graciously assented that the students of the American College with DeNeve's dimissorial letters could be promoted to Orders outside of canonical time and without observing the interstices, and at the same time also grant the aforesaid students faculties, by which they can be admitted to...

Scope and Contents

Some years ago his father loaned to Patrick Curran the first two volumes of Francis Plowden's History of Ireland, printed in 1806. Prior to his death Curran had been living at Notre Dame and Barnes was informed that the books were given to Notre Dame. He should be pleased to hear from Edwards in regard to the books. The other volumes are useless without the first two. :: XI-1-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Barnes sends McMaster $3 as his subscription fee for the Freeman's Journal. He also sends $2.90 in mission dues to aid the Indian Missions. For the few cents remaining over these amounts he asks McMaster to send him an Almanac, or some other some other small book. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents From every part of the Catholic world, signs of filial piety and ardent love for Pope Pius IX have been shown. The U.S., bishops and people, have offered troops and financial aid. The Holy Father will gladly accept such aid from other countries to the extent of its straigthened treasury. Since U.S. bishops and faithful have offered not only troops but also the support for them, the Holy Father accepts them as tokens of Catholic charity and devotion. Therefore He, as Supreme Commander of the...

Scope and Contents They had an excellent crossing in spite of the storms. They left New York October 11th and debarked the 22nd in Ireland. Baroux arrived in Paris on the 30th, and is resting a couple of weeks; afterwards he will begin to preach for his mission. As he has not preached in French for the last 3 years, his debut will be in small towns, and later in great centers, where offerings will be larger. He hopes to succeed but there will be disappointments and difficulties due to weather and fatigue....

Scope and Contents Lyons might not see the propriety of Baroux's sending him the names of the places where the money was collected but Baroux means to prove the truthfulness of his statements. Among those who have devoted some years of their lives for that community, can many bring a record such as Baroux's? Money collected 22827 francs, over $4000, 100 chasubles besides 400 volumes Baroux left for Notre Dame when he went to Bengal. Has anyone who has done so much in 3 years, been treated so scornfully as...

Scope and Contents 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...

Scope and Contents Copy. Walsh was kind enough to send Baroux a photograph of Father Sorin at the time of his jubilee. Baroux will send today no enclosure the photograph of the church of Chittagong in Bengal; Father Voisin who died in 1855 in that mission had made the design with a pencil. When Baroux came back to France in 1857 the Christian Brothers made a picture of it. No doubt Fathers Sorin and Saulnier will be glad to see the photograph. The church is 145 feet by 60; it was built several years before...

Scope and Contents After a happy crossing of 11 days, they disembarked yesterday at New York. The two Monsieurs Fathers Gustave Limpens and Louis Van Den Driessche wish to remain to get their six trunks today if it is not too difficult, and they will leave tomorrow for Michigan. If not, they shall delay until Tuesday at the latest. Baroux's luggage should arrive in 2 or 3 weeks. He has different articles in it which will necessitate his going to Detroit, after which he will go directly to Dowagiac; while in...

Scope and Contents He assures Lefevere that his health is now excellent and that he is preparing immediately to return to the Detroit diocese. He longs to see Lefevere again and to be among his good savages and Irish at Pokagon who have been so neglected since his departure in 1852. The church there is in a sad condition. Father John DeNeve wrote him that the population has considerably increased; the church at Rush Creek Michigan has no cross and Dowagiac Michigan is in a pitiable state. Baroux hopes to...

Scope and Contents Baroux sends the inventory of his two churches with the account of revenue from banns for Silver Creek no enclosure. As he has neglected completely the cultivation of the land, there is no account to send, since he has been so occupied with all his missions that he took no care of the land. The church at Rush Lake is about in the same condition; the Indians are unable to do anything until next spring, so there is no account to send. Last week the Committee assured the church at Silver Creek...

Scope and Contents

Since the first of January he has been absent on five different missions for the dangerously sick. The expenses of the church at Rush Lake have been paid, he has not any debt for this mission. Simgowa has got himself in trouble, paying the carpenters who have not finished the church, but the church is out of danger, the consequences are his. :: III-2-l A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Lefevere's letter of the 2nd affords Baroux an opportunity of explaining the result of his voyage to Europe and the causes which prevented him from collecting money. Baroux intended to go to Detroit but sick calls prevented. Because Lefevere's charges against him are so serious he will give full satisfaction. Lefevere believes Baroux received large sums of money and other articles besides the 5,000 francs on Lefevere's account. There is a great mistake as he had little left after paying his...

Scope and Contents 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...

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...

Scope and Contents Baroux has received Lefevere's letter of the 14th. He is very busy preparing a school and a schoolmaster. Chief Simgowa Sinagowa left for Washington Easter Sunday with Simon Pokagon and Isadore from Rush Lake. As soon as they return, the 5000 francs from Paris will be at Lefevere's disposition. Lefevere should inform Baroux if he wishes to leave the money with the Rush Lake Committee. Baroux consulted last week his confrere Father Isidore Anthony Lebel in Kalamazoo and found that he had no...

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...

Scope and Contents Baroux has bee waiting for an opportunity to send Lefevere the contract for the Pokagan land. They have given 40 arpents. He has built a spacious house costing about $300. Two workmen came from South Bend, Indiana. The Sisters are also comfortably housed. He has few savages at Pokagan; nearly twenty families are at Brushcreek, Michigan with Sinegowa . For a year Sinegowa has asked him to build them a church; he gave ten arpents of land to Lefevere. Baroux will send the two contracts. He asks...

Scope and Contents Because of Lefevere's silence, Baroux will repeat the subject of his last letter. All makes him presume that Lefevere is opposed to the Indians buildingaa church at Brushcreek, Michigan ; doubtless because Sinegowa, contrary to Lefevere's advice, separated from Pokagan and perhaps because against Lefevere's orders, Sinegowa made the contract in his name. Last year Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C., made an advantageous offer to Sinegowa but he declined it. Sorin is still disposed to procure the...
