Your Grace my dear Archbishop
Three years ago to - day I was sitting
m front of you when you told me
the wonderful news- we had permis
sion for a Foundation in the Diocese
of Dublin. I shall never forget that
moment. That is why I am writing
I am sure that you could never
imagine just how I felt! But as
long as I live I shall recall that
moment and you, Your Grace,
with the deepest sentiments of
gratitude. The knowledge of my
own unworthiness makes my
gratitude the greater, and my lov-
ing confidence stronger I hope
y i will never be sorry for
having given the permission
My prayers for you are daily,
and I am sure dear St. Joseph
who has done the miraculous
for me during these three yours
will not fail to do great things for you
too. You have the prayers of some thirty-
seven hundred Sisters praying for you
the last repart I had from st Josephs
there were eleven patients Magnificat!
Is that not the fruit of the Blessing
on May 1st.
I have at last a lovely photo of
you and was so pleased to show
Cit here at the General House I
waited three years but "omne
trinum ist perfectum" Are you
smiling
No your Grace, I am not forget-
ting the reason you had in mind
in granting us a little corner in
your vineyard Now st. Joseph
must get us good and numerous
subjects. How I would like to
opened the rest of my days re-
writing Fiat
We will have our General Elections
on July 2nd so please remember
this in your prayers
Rev. Mother joins me in sending
kindest personal wishes and the
renewed assurances of prayers
May our Divine Lord give you grace
and health to continue your great work
my dear Archbishop
Most respectfully in M
