another Home. Often before the Tabernacle
you shall be remembered

measures 113/4 X 133/4 I am at a loss as to
where I am to obtain one Is it to you, your
Grace, I should turn
.
I also have a new Chalice to be consecrated
he engraving will be completed to- morrow
evening. It would give both Rev. M. General
and me great pleasure were you to consecrate
it. Perhaps you are too busy. and would pre-
fer to have me give it to someone else We
shall not have need of it until after Mother
Alice Marys arrival in Dublin which may
not be until around the middle of the month
I shall await word from you regarding the
altar Stone and the Consecration of the Chalice
The Gate lodge is very nice and I do hope
Your Grace will come to see it When the
Nursing Home is completed it will make a
very comfortable home for a good gardener
whom I am asking St. Joseph to find for
us.
It looks as if, I can look forward after six
years to taking up residence in what I may
call our. Convent Magnificat
My heart this evening is grateful and happy
and again I thank you Your Grace
I confided the desire for the Reservation
of the Blessed Sacrament to your Helen and

deepest gratitude while begging humbly your
blessing and prayers I beg to remain
Your Grace
