The father’s uncertainty also reflects the wider political climate of the period, Nagle notes “… he says there is a probability in France they may Demolish all the Monasteries”. Nagle affirms Miss Fitzsimons and advises her to choose “any young lady you think proper” to enter the novitiate in Paris.
