Beers was delighted to find Bayley's letter when she returned from Pittsfield. When Eliza McBride first saw Beers, she did not recognize her because she looked so young. Beers was amazed at seeing McBride. To McBride's disappointment, Beers had just received a letter from Father Quinn saying he would not be here this week, so no Mass. Beers has just received a kind note from Mother Agnes that made her homesick. It took her whole heart back to the Convent. Was there any truth in the news about Bayley's father? Beers is sure he will die a Catholic. Bayley's old friend John Williams is Bishop of Connecticut. Julia's mother sends her love and says that if Bayley came now they can receive him without brickbats and shingles. Mother and McBride have hearty laughs about their school days. Bayley should give Beers's love to all at the Convent when they inquire for her. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
