Walburga, S.H.C.J., Mother Mary, Avoca, Minnesota, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1883 May 29

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-d

Scope and Contents

Mother Walburga thanks McMaster for telegraphing to Mr. William J. Onahan who met them and conducted them to the Sacred Heart Convent where they had a delightful visit. McMaster's name was one of the first ones remembered in the prairied chapel. The people gave the nuns a very hearty and noisy welcome which was most surprising since they expected nothing of that sort. The Convent requires a great deal of work to get it into shape and as no help can be hired the nuns are very busy. They have daily Mass and Communion, therefore spiritual comforts are not lacking. P.S. She gives her regards to Sister Teresa of Jesus, D.Cn., and asks her to pray for their work in the West. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
