Scope and Contents

She acknowledges McFarland's letter and has permission to write him as he requested. Although she has found peace and happiness there have been enough crosses. The superiors give her some encouragement about her vocation. She has a class in school and the children are low and keep her humble. She has heard from her family and they seem to hope she will not remain. Miss Binsse has written to her and says she has been to the fair in Brownsville. They sing the office and much of their time is spent in spiritual exercises. She will receive the white veil after two months. McFarland is the only one who encouraged her to come there. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
