Very Rev. John C. Mc. Quaid
Your Grace
I am here until Monday
at the suggestion of my own
Rev. Mother General who is an
would to see what possibilities
there are, if any for our
humble Congregation to recruit
postulants to secure some
small work in Ireland and
to obtain a house here
We are the Sisters of Chambery
a branch of the Congregation
of St. Joseph with our General
House in Rome
Father Daniel Murphy C.S. Sp and
Rt. Rev. Donal Herlihy of the Irish
College in Rome know me quite
well
Apart from the business end
of my errand I would consider
a privilege and a pleasure
to be permitted a short inter -
view. However, I realize what
a crowded program is that
of one in your position, your
Grace and will await your
kind consideration
With every good wish for your
spiritual and physical wel-
fare I remain
Devotedly yours in J.

Your Grace and my dear Archbishop
This morning, St. Josephs day, your kind and prompt
reply to mine arrived. Thank you very much! In the
same mail came the plans of Mr. Jones which I shall
sidy with care, I presume he will show you a copy
osss, S. Joseph is looking after things, is he not?
Rev. Mother General will write you very soon con-
firming her "Yes" to the purchase of Edenmore which
I hope we shall be calling St. Josephs Villa
Ds
you like that
Thank you also your Grace, for contacting Mr O'Brien
and for promising to acquaint Mr. Ryan on his return
of the legal requirements
It is difficult to describe my happiness at the thought
that the Sisters of St. Joseph are slowly moving into the
Dublin Diocese under your gracious tutelage. I do regret
that I am not a nurse! Seriously speaking, I could
be frightened and I am humbled Your kindness and
goodness has done that but it has also helped my
Iul expand in the realigation of what our Heavenly
Father is!. May that Goodness be glorified by
this new Foundation furthered by your my dear
Archbishop
The Holy Spirit will permit you to know and since
my poor prayers for you while I humbly ask your
blessing and prayers, your Grace. I remain
Most respectfully in Mary,
Your grateful child

Your Grace Imy dear Archbishop
Since I hope to complete my visit in the Limerick Schools to
morrow I plan to return to Dublin on Friday Should
there be any transactions regarding Edenmore I could be
reached either, through the Medical Missionaries (882722)or through
the Murphys (1901127
The following Monday I hope to commence the Schools of
Sligo returning to Dublin Sept 28th or 29th to arrange for
the postulants departure for South Wales At this time
should deeply appreciate an interview your Grace, if you
an spare a wee bit of time. There are two of my own
community Irish Americans who will join me at that time
One is the assistant Matron of our hospital in India
and comes from our large hospital in the Archdiocese of
Hartford Connecticut Since she is very familiar with
the needs of hospitals she would be a great help to me
in studying the plans formulated by Mr Jones The
two saw Edenmore and were very delighted with it.
This really made me very happy!! I would give me
great pleasure if your Face would permit me to present
them to you
After the departure of the postulants I shall have to think
of mine for Rome unless there will be further need of me in
Dublin Neither Mr. Jones nor Mr. O Brien here written but
they are waiting my return,
No day passes but your name finds place in my poor prayers
and I humbly trust that our Divine Lord favors you with some
special graces in return. Your fatherly kindness and interest is
more deeply appreciated and I realize with the passage of the weeks
how privileged we are to be allowed a place in your Archdiocese
With every kind personal wish and humbly begging your
blessing, I remain, my dear Archbishop
Most respectfully

Your Grace my dear Archbishop,
In my recent letter I overlooked
a very important item It would be
unworthy of me as a child of St
Joseph and yours not to congratu-
late you and humbly thank you
for the honor you gave him on his
first Feast as Worker I was so hap
py to read about the attendance at
the Pro - Cathedral.
Labor has been uniting for years
but now under the Inspiration of
St. Joseph it will achieve those
supernatural goals, and recapture
hose virtues depicted in his own hum-
ble hard working and honest life.
What he will not do for you from now
on. I shall need only to remind him of this
when speaking for your Grace
Kindly pray for hd bless me who begs to remain
Most respectfully in M.
Your devoted grateful child

Pentecost Tues day

Your Grace my dear Archbishop
Since Rev. Mother General and I should be flying
to Cardiff early Thursday morning, I do want to
offer a very sincere and humble expression of
my appreciation for all you have done and been
not only to me but also to dear Mother General
Her visit to dear Ireland was like an oasis in
the desert and your kindness helped to make it
such.
Your Grace I shall be in Crickhowell where I
can be reached and, from where I can come if
needed for any business connected with Edenmore
Should you be talking to Mr. O' Brien I would
be happy to know what possibility there is
of getting into the smaller of the two houses
I am enclosing the last letter of Mr. Jones
wherein he speaks of the drainage problem
Enclosed ales is Mr. O Brien's last letter to me. I have
heard nothing further but his absence accounts for
this It is very heartening to know that the
tenders will be returned on August 3rd is it
not. Dear St. Joseph well inspire these
builders to be very, very modest in their
estimates. I rely on him
Rev. Mother General told me that she was going
to ask for a photograph not knowing how-
ever how unsuccessful I was, It would
be nice were she able to bring one bask to
France and Rome with her Your Grace,
More than ever I humbly ask your blessing
and prayers because the more I meet you the
more I realize my deepest lack holiness
In the hope that our dear Lord will accept
my prayers with His own and bless you in
return, I beg to remain my dear Archbishop
Most respectfully in M
Your grateful child

Your Grace my dear Archbishop
I was wonderful of you to have written
me before my departure from Dublin I
am deeply grateful to you.
God willing. I expect to be in Dublin to-
morrow and will be so happy to see you
shall I ring Father Mangan or shall I
await a note from your Grace.
The morning I left I signed the paper
which is to give us permission to take
possession of Edenmore and begin at least
the repairs on the Gate Lodge. Mr. Jones
san no reason why the work could not
begin on May 1st the Feast of St. Joseph the
Worker He will direct work and workers
for the Glory of God. I am sure.
I have had to ask Rev. Mother General to allow
me to borrow 38,000 originally it was 35,000.
Ther has already sent me her written authorization
which I shall give to Mr. Sheridan as the Bank
of Ireland Your Grace, perhaps you will yet
be asked to give your signature for the loan
I am not familiar with that necessity. There
are so many things I do not know.. But
feel that you will counsel me with your
rich experience and how much I shall ap-
precrate that. There are some questions
on my mind which I hope you will help me
to clear up regarding the coming of the Sisters
Two postulants received the Holy Habit to day and
two others pronounced their First Vows Two were
from Dublin. I said a special prayer for you be-
not have found their way to the Sisters of St. Joseph
How admirable is Gods loving Providence
Looking forward to seeing you soon and humbly
asking your blessing and prayers I beg to remain
my dear Archbishop
Most respectfully in Mary
Your grateful devoted child
Sister Mary de Pazzi

Your Grace my dear Archbishop
To. morrow, the 7th marks the second an-
niversary of the permission so kindly given
by you for the Nursing Home in your Arch-
diocese. I could not resist writing to
assure you that my heart is still grateful
and humble and that you will receive a
very special place in my poor prayers
to morrow. No day passes without a re-
membrance but to morrows will be a more
fervent one. I haven t forgotten your dear
Sister either R. I. P.
Our dearest Lord must have special designs
for me as He seems to wish me to be so much
alone! I needed this in order to become more
dependent on Him. Very soon though I ex
pect to be joined by the Superior for St. Joseph's.
The Gate lodge is fast becoming habitable
and once there we can follow at close range
the work on the big house
St. Joseph has really taken charge and I am
amazed at what has been done in the month or
five weeks. He has even favored the workers
with lovely weather. Mr. Cooney seems to be
a very fine type of man and his men work
well. The foreman said yesterday that he
seems quite certain that their part of the
work will be completed in six months.
I hope, your Grace, if you have time, will go
out to see the progress that has been made
I had expected a ring from Dr O Connell some
time ago, but, you are busy I know. Maybe
when you have a few free moments, you
wont forget me your Grace.
I hope you are keeping well and that our
Lord Himself will fill the void that your
sister Helens death has caused
Please bless me, your Grace while I big to
remain
Most respectfully in M
Your grateful I obedient child
Sister Mary de Pazzi

Your Grace I my dear Archbishop
I am so happy and so grateful for the tre-
mendous privilege of the Renovation of the
lessed Sacrament in the Gate-lodge. In
dear St. Josephs name I am thanking, too be-
cause he will love you for giving our Lord
another Home. Often before the Tabernacle
you shall be remembered
Practically everything necessary will be ready
to morrow evening. G.H. There is no Altar
Stone for the altar I am borrowing. It
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
m Helen. R.I.P
How close to us our dear
ones are,,
With kind personal wishes and my
deepest gratitude while begging humbly your
blessing and prayers I beg to remain
Your Grace
