McMaster, Sister Teresa of Jesus, Baltimore, Maryland, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1882 December 1

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-d

Scope and Contents

Sister Teresa of Jesus writes her father from the Convent of Mount Carmel. She received his letter and is answering immediately. Her order has no prohibition against writing and receiving letters during advent and so she can enjoy the privilege of hearing from home. She is happy and cheerful in her vocation and now on certain occasions she attends Matins and is permitted to sing in the choir. She received Jennie's letter and the note enclosed by McMaster but cannot yet realize the news they have brought her. Their poor boy probably has a heavy heart of late but it is better that the discovery be made now rather than when it will be more painful to him. God may not intend him for a religious vocation but it may yet prove a joy because he will be back with his father again. Mother Beatrice, Sister Agnes, and herself will be sure to pray for McMaster. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
