helpful and enlightening. While
there she called in Mr. Fanhan who
was very interested, too, He is ar-
ronging an interview with Master
O Hanlon for some day early newt week
I am degly grateful to you, your
Grace, for being so kind to me in
making it possible for me to meet
such wonderful people
On leaving the hospital a Dr. Kidney
offered to take me into town and
ven he wss keenly interested that I
could not but feel I was caught in
a circle of very interested and help-
ful friends. Over all these incidences
I see a loving Heavenly Father caring for
me through you and I am appreciative

Your Grace my dear Archbishop
This letter carries a word, of welcome
and of gratitude; of welcome after your
long arduous but soul uplifting visit
to Australia. of thanks for your kindness
in receiving the permission to recruit
again in your Diocese.
It would be a keen pleasure to have
an interview with you, Your Grace-
to express personally my appreciation,
as also to tell of my recent visit of five
months duration in the East. However
I realize after your long weeks away
much more important demands will
claim your precious time.
Your words on my first visit were a
source of real encouragement Your
Grace. You told me then when you
gave me the permission that I
should not expect great results the
first year but as the girls learned to
know our Congregation better postulants
would come, So it is proving! This
year, there are nine who hope to
enter either on July 16th or September 8
Our Lady, Her Spouse the Holy Spirit
and her Heavenly Choirs have not failed
me.
You will my dear Archbishop, pray
for our Missions, especially India and
Pakistan. I feel our Lady has special
designs on the latter. Their flag floats
two symbols of her, the Crescent and
the Star. Their Koran devotes forty
Verses to her. A former Princess of
their left her name in the Place our
Lady appeared at Portugal, Is it
not extraordinary?
Ionly hope that someday we shall
obtain a house in Ireland from-
where, Sisters will go to aid
in the great work of our Lady-
winning the Moslims to her
Son Many know much of the
Missions of Africa and China but
I find only a small number
familiar with spiritual needs of
the timing millions in Ihdia
and Pakistan.
If between now and the middle of July
there is the possibility of your grant
ing me an interiew, I would be
so happy to be remembered. I
hope to join Rev. Mother General in
Denmark before returning to Rome
This morning I thanked our Lady and
her Angels for your safe journey and
assure, you, my dear Archbishop that
you are daily remembered in the prayers of

Your Grace my dear Archbishop
Ayear ago to night I wrote to you, thanking
you for he permission of visiting the schools
in your Diocese asking you for an inter-
view and assuring you of my prayers Do
you remember it! So many things of such
lovely significance have emanated from that
request, that I think I shall always write
to you on its anniversary! Profound grat-
itude prompts me, your Grace.
Let me thank you for the renewal of the
permission so kindly given, of visiting the
schools while I reiterate that you are daily
in my prayers, your Grace
I am very happy that Rockwell is prac-
tically settled and that our Sisters will G.H.
be able to go there in Mid- August There may
bee a delay in the arrival of the nurse until
he Sisters for Edenmore can come
I am enclosing the recent letter of Mr. O Brien
in case you have not heard from him. The date
for the settlement has been set and this is a
move forward, But it is a bit disheartening
to think that after the settlement another six
months will elapse before we can call
Edenmore our own. Fiat. I am trying to
accept this as best for us since Our Lord
seems to want it that way. It does how-
ever leave me with the question of what to
do next
Your Grace I would love to see you but I
hate to trouble you, when I know you have so
Many and much more important problems
weighing on you. You must be tired and weary.
Our Lady, Queen of the Universe did much for
me on her first Feast and I am confident that in
answer to her beloved Spouses pleas she will
do even greater things for me this year. When
St. Joseph appeals to her he is irresistible I
confide my desires for you my dear Archbishop

that you Iike them.
We gave the planning a great deal of consideration and
thought and we think that Mother de Pazzi is well satisfied
wlth the planning arrangements
We wroté to her on the 23rd January to Rome and recommended
Mr. Cooney as Builder for the work. Mr. Cooney is building the
New Hall at Sherrard Street and he is giving us great satisfaction.
I thank you for your kind wishes which I heartily reciprocate.
