Scope and Contents

Sister Teresa tells her father how much beter she is feeling. His letters have been most consoling. That morning she received Holy Communion for the first time since Holy Thursday. A small altar was set up in the room and the nuns reciting the Miserere and the Confiteor were present during the Communion, each with a lighted candle. Archbishop James Gibbons , visited her last week and was very encouraging to her. The community of sisters showed every kindness during the entire sickness and Dr. Chatard made daily visits for five weeks. The box of scapulars and Agnus Dei's are for Alphonsus McMaster to take with him for protection on the sea. For a month she has been unable to follow the community exercises but hopes to do so shortly. Mother Louise of St. John the Evangelist and Mother Beatrix send their regards. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
