TEXT
caritas
Dear Father Prior
Many thanks for your card
I am very grieved to hear Dom
Columba is so seriously ill I hope
he is not suffering too much I
joined you all this morning in
the Novena to Abbot Columba + shall
offer Mass + Holy Communion each morning
for his recovery if it is for Gods
greater Glory this may interfere
with your little trys to Dublin
which will not disappoint me I know
your interest as everything + God is
watching over as all + the Works
Sunday
I hope at else goes well Miss OR.
will go down by 9.3o am train
to.morrow Monday I think you will
find she understands how you wish
their obedience to be during my
absence.
For the present I think 5:30 is
early enough for Miss L + O' R to
rise They will have time to make
their morning prayer + 1/2 hour meditation
before Mass unless they have domestic
duties to do before if so they can
aarrange these matters with you
and you will give Miss O'R. a
table of her domestic works
Owing to the conditions of
my health, I have not been able
will you explain please to them
to write much to the staff a matron
My heart muscles are very weak
after the poisoning + long tie trying
to get up so as to get the air takes
all the energy I have but
gradually this will improve
It there is anything we can do for
you in Dublin or for F. C please
do not hesitate to let me know
My brothers wedding will be on
tnesday next they are all very
busy preparing for the great day.
It is strange how I should be at
home for it but unable to be
present_ the Dr considers it
would he too much for me I
am really glad as it would have
been a very great strain to me +
night only delay my cure which is
Slow enough as it is Please remember
them in your prayer on that day
I shall write during the week
to our Religious Superior how I
wish I were fit enough to start off
with Miss O' R on Monday evendentl
Our Lord wishes to try my patience
- to leach me many more lesson as
an invalide I have a good deal
of physical suffering lately Dom Col
Shall have a share in this as well as
my prayers
when you are busy as you must be
now I never expect a letter from
you uat can talk over all when
we next meet_
your obedient child for God.
St Mary
