Scope and Contents

Helen McMaster writes her father from the Convent of Mount Carmel. She received his letter on Wednesday and is answering him in time for his feast day on Aug. 2.. She gives her regards to Alphonsus McMaster and promises to pray for him. The indulgence of the Portiuncula has been granted to the Carmelites and after first vespers the nuns will make several visits to the choir and the oratory because each visit enables you to gain a plenary indulgence. Father Augustine Langcake gave the nuns a good conferance last Wednesday. Even though it was very warm, the nuns attended with their mantles on and their veils over their faces. The clipping McMaster sent to the Reverend Mother Sr. Louise of St. John the Evangleist were read during the recreation period and were greatly enjoyed. Since McMaster is the only living father of all those in the community, the nuns all look on him as their father and speak highly of him. Mother Beatrix, the novice-mistress has taught her to press the flowers which she encloses, and the wood around the picture of Saint Teresa is off the convent itself. The Sisters know Father Michael Muller and also Father Augustine Frietag . She has remembered her father's special intention in her prayers. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
