Note discussing Ms. O Rourke and her influence. That it will bring back a better spirit.
TEXT:
Dear Father Prior,
Many thanks for Your letter, I agree with that the influence Miss O’Rourke will probably be sufficient to bring back a better spirit. I feel I may have failed by not writing oftener, to Cook she needs constant help since I felt unhappy about her. I have written more often and will continue to do so.
When I hear definitely as to the course you intend to adopt, I shall write fully to them all, as it will be an occasion when I can speak of things in general without leaving suspicion of having heard stories.
Probably from now on, they, Mary and herself, will begin to take advantage, of the spiritual life at Glenstal. If so all will improve under the influence of God’s grace.
I shall be very glad that Miss O’Rourke will have the chance of getting a better knowledge of the cooking. I believe it will not be long now till we shall not be so much depending on Iizzie.
I shall have two very busy days for M.M.M. tomorrow and Sunday, also treatment,
so if my daughters do not hear from me, they will understand.
I shall write fully to them when I hear what you and Dom David have decided.
I have an idea it was probably the meat at dinner the boys complained about.
I would do as you said about breakfast. It is the usual breakfast in Irish homes: bacon and eggs, sometimes poached eggs on toast, and now and again sausages.
Sausages and Mash potatoes are generally a favorite supper dish.
I pray much for every thing.
