Scope and Contents

McMaster's two letters and his telegram reached them, and they appreciate his generosity, although it was not necessary for Sister Teresa McMaster to give more than her dower, her wishes coincide with McMaster's, and she wishes to give everything to God. McMaster's great act of liberality leaves them sincerely grateful, but he desires to participate in his daughter's vow of poverty, and God will reward him. Sister Teresa is in retreat. His letter gave her much pleasure, and she relies upon the prayers and Masses he promised to have said for her. She hopes McMaster and Gertrude can be present when she makes her vows, between six and seven o'clock, a.m., November 21. She wishes Phonie could arrive in time to be with them. The Mass for the Veiling is at eight o'clock, a.m., November 22. If they will come on November 20, she can give them a detailed account of all. She thanks him again for his charity. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
