  Dear Father Prior
  Many thanks for your
  letter + Post card only received
  this Morning Naturally I
  was disappointed when Dom
  David did not turn up
  Yesterday but on the other
  hand they, at least these
  things T.P. do not effect me
  much now We had arranged
  to have no visitors so as
  to be well strong for his
  visit. now I have it still
  to look forward to + I hope
  in two weeks time
  A pare
  my toes healed enough to be
  able to go home but God alone
  kwows these things for certain.
  D.Quinlan returned on Sunday
  he came yesterday + the St
  have decided it is better
  to take of the tops of the 1st
  toe + part of the big toe
  this little separation ￡ will
  probably be done on either
  Thursday or Friday next if
  My rheumatism chases us
  Last Friday I got rather an
  acute attack of Rheumatism
  which has left me rather
  more weak + tried. To-day
  I am better but slept badly
  I know once more you will
  all pray for me that in all
  recovery
• that the sickness will
  not go further afield. the
  boys keep well_ I hope Matron
  will see light soon about Rose
• that Fr John has her
  insured + the card stamped
  up to date in case she has
  to go to hospital or is
  unable to work for some
  time.
  All the cards should
  be kept stamped up to
  date.
  Ask Matron
  to write
  if there is any thing.
  she needs
  from Dublin
  to help her for Rose
  I am also sorry to hear the
  boys are not eating well
  I remember at breakfast they
  used to eat a very good
  plate of porridge ( which must
  be made thick) I plenty of known

  Bacon + Egg but hardly any
  bread + butter
  For dinner the smaller boys
  eat little but they all used
  to eat a very big
  plenty of bread + butter +
  Jam Supper was another
  meat they did not eat much
  at but then they have a
  glass of milk.
  forgot to
  tell Matron Frank Mc Cann
  used to have a glass
  Milk at 11 am if he is
  inclined to loose weight
  They all should eat well
  now especially if there are
  colds going about the
  house
  I regretted very much having
  to send you this further burden
  Miss claims I may
  confess honestly all the suffering

Various matters prior to Father Priors visit. From Mary Martin to Prior of Glenstal.

Dear Father Prior
This letter will probably reach you in time for the feast of the Immaculate Conception with all my very best wishes to you, all the community, teachers, boys, and staff. I shall be much united with Our Lady and you all on that day in special prayers and know you will not forget me in yours.
I have not written much lately as I await your visit to talk all matters over. Also, the getting up so early only for an hour leaves me very tired, and I have not been feeling quite so well the last few days. The big toe is still inclined to be septic, so I fear I shall not be allowed home this week but probably next week.
Hope you have good news of Rose

If she was insured she should of course
draw that from The day she left Glenstal
untill she is fit again On the other
hand if she is not qualified for the
Insurance you will have to pay her till she
goes home + give her notice that you are
not needing her next term.
I enclose the dining room equipment
book for Mai so that she will leave
all in order before she goes on her
holiday + hand over the silver to Fr
Hohn_ also he book with particulars of
maid up to time of my leaving Glenstal
the wages as received from nt John
to give him. I have ￡1. belonging to Mary
as you will see by her account.
Is it time that one of your Fathers
( a german) is at Beaumount ill. I was
told there was + I cannot think who it can
be. I hope if so he is not seriously ill.
Would it be too much trouble, if Matron has
the time to pack my things to bring them up
leave them at the Station my sister can call
for them- I enclose the key of small cupboard

you might give to Matron as all my letters
are in that + I should like to have
them when I get home _
I am not sure whether I shall be here
or at home when you come up but
all I wish to convey to you is that
you are heartily, welcome to stay at
Greenbank for a night or more if it
is convenient for you on the other hand
I quite understand Mr gooss is Mrs G. staf
will be more convenient as they are
nearer the city but if I were at home
you did not want to waste the day
hours with me you could come out when
you have all your business finished
have dinner then have a long talk
and stay the night. However I leave
everything to you to arrange as suits you
best.
With grateful thanks for everything
your obedient child in Jesus + Mary
Sr. Mary
We shall arrange about the staff when we meet
I asked Matron to give you all her views. M.M
