Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

She thanks Bayley for his kindness to Leo Thebaud and to herself. She has been quite sick, but is almost well now. Her little brother had inflammation of the lungs, and Papa and Maman were sick at the same time. Bayley's letter comforted Leo so much, but he is still homesick. Although he suffers a great deal, it will do him good. Her courage is down pretty low now. Father Titus Joslin came to see her twice while she was sick. She has a regular struggle with herself when she goes to confession, for she can hardly get out her sins. At home they do not like her having such a young director. Should she answer Amedée's letters as long as he behaves as he does? He will not give up and every little while he renews the subject. She asks Bayley to write soon and advise her what to do. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
