My dear Father,
Please excuse rushed note. I am sending you down today for the 3rd. Maid a black dress like others, set of ball, pepper, and mustard from Clery’s.

I got the enclosed mat, these could be made for you in any color for about 1/4 each, but as I thought them too expensive myself, I am sending you down good 1 dozen rubber ones.

A telephone message from Lawlor Briscoe today in reference to today. They say it will be impossible to get one the measurements we require and say they can make a very good job by adding two feet. This will cost 10 pounds. The leather cloth will be a dark green unless you prefer another color. Will you write direct to Lawlor Briscoe, Ormond Quay, Dublin?

I am also sending you down catalogue of stoves for old playroom. When writing, give me measurements of room.
I hope all goes well.

I shall have news of you, all from my children

tomorrow evening ...I have decided to spend Saturday night and Sunday with them in retreat which is being held there. You will all be remembered much in our few days of recollection with Our Lord.

We can get no definite news of the house till next week as the solicitor for the owner is away. How happy we are not to have a house of our own to start, just like Our Lord,

Thank God for the charity of all. Taking us.

I wrote a short note to His Excellency saying I was in Dublin and that I would postpone my visit till I had something definite about Rosemount next week.

Met a few fifth boys at Limerick June; They would not believe me I was leaving. I hear you have birds to look after.

Must close now to catch post.
Your ever grateful child for God,
Marie

My dear Father,

Miss Murphy arrived safely, and I was glad to see her and to hear of you all. Things, I know, have not settled down, but I thought it looked very well when I heard Miss Hayes had gone to bed. I hope she is not relying too much on my children and that she will win her new girls for the love of God.

I have written fully to Dom David with reference to Miss Nichols. She can, of course, remain as long as charity demands it, but I think it would be wrong to give Miss Hayes the idea they could remain indefinitely. It would not be a good policy for the incoming staff.

A few conferences from Dom David on unity of spirit, and the family spirit of humility and love would help greatly at this point—something supernatural must bind them together, seeking them in a spirit of great love and kindness tempered with firmness will keep girls at Glenstal. If we get May back, he will work well for you.

It just struck me that I did not point out to you the housemaid is free from 3 or 3-30 so as to give Nora a little work in the refectory in the afternoon while she goes along with the scrubbing, as Nora has a lot of work and may not get so much help as she does now from the new cook.

I feel very much for Miss Moynagh, and I have asked Dom David to keep an eye on her. She is selfless as far as work and all are concerned.

What is the date of the Profession?

You will have the ----- at 10 tomorrow. I wonder, has Matron the list of boys that need sheets for Sunday, this term and the tweed coats? I will wait till I hear from you how many pullovers you require with sizes, and then I shall order 1 dozen gr--- stockings of each size for you to have in stock. You have the pattern of shirts to order.

This is a very beautiful and practical retreat and very helpful to Miss Murphy. She finds it hard returning here, but I am glad all that is allowed by Divine Providence. We both washed up after the meals today.

I shall write to Miss Fee and arrange to see her sometime in case anything happens to the present Matron—I hope not.

If she seems suitable, I shall explain you are settled till Christmas, and if there is a change, then you will let her know.

I pray much for you all. I know you do not forget your unworthy and ever grateful child for God.

Marie
