will have it dressed regularly and by expert hands.
I wrote to Matron yesterday thanking her for all
she was doing for me during my absence and for the way she had
Arranged the works under your direction for Miss O’Rourke and
Miss Leyden. I also mentioned that the staff could go for
a long walk with her once every two weeks. Ialso asked her if
she would like me to write to Marry.
Iam enclosing the paper with the few questions you
Wish to discuss with Dom David as well as the copy of an agree-
ment as I drew up, When you have all details discussed and we
have a mutual agreement between us , I shall type a copy of same
And send it down to you.

If it would be helpful or convenient for Dom Columba to stay
Here on his way he will be very welcome
