Scope and content
Letter from Sister A.E. Woodward RSCJ, Convent of the Sacred Heart, Aberdeen, Scotland. The letter is addressed to Frances Woodlock (possibly William Woodlock’s wife) and refers to the school recently established by the religious sisters in the city. The letter adds ‘Aberdeen is a most interesting old place owing its origin to St. Machar, a disciple of St. Columba. It had many holy Bishops in the good old times and the tombs of several of them are still to be seen’.
