Scope and Contents

Mother Angela of the Sisters of St. Bridget acknowledges Lefevere's favor of the 19th. Money received from contributions for a residence had to be spent for rental. The trustees, since last July, have given her only $43, and the school has not brought her one cent all this time; she has had to pay an assistant teacher to satisfy the people. She travels twice a day to the school in all kinds of weather, a proof she is not flinching from duty. Some who have paid part of their contributions were so excited by Father Thomas Brady before he left, that they want to get back the money they gave. All the Bradys are gone: the doctor; the lawyer; and many of the troublesome ones. Before Brady left, he did all he could to turn the people against her. She hopes shortly under Father Joseph Kindekens all will be right. She has taken a 6 year old half-orphaned girl; the mother will clothe her and pay $3 a month. ` P.S. The total demand on her cannot be more than $50. Peter Granger is an agent of Brady. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
