AI CLEANED text:

Your Excellency, Many thanks indeed for your letter, and the one enclosed from the Mother General of the Holy Child Order, which I now return. I feel that I need say no more than how grateful I am to Your Excellency for the great service you have already done for M.M.M. (Medical Missionaries of Mary), and how confident you have made me feel about the future security and progress of our work under your generous patronage. I enclose a copy of Monsignor Moynagh's letter, as well as the reply which, after consultation with His Excellency the Nuncio, I have sent. I have been assured by His Excellency that the directions I have received from the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide" regarding our Novitiate enable me to start with as few as three subjects. I trust that the proposal which I have submitted to Monsignor Moynagh fully accords with Your Excellency's directions, and I hope it will do a great deal to relieve Monsignor Moynagh of his very understandable apprehensions. With a heart full of gratitude, I kiss your sacred ring and ask for Your Excellency's blessing.
