Scope and Contents

Sister St. John writes from the Convent of the Holy Child Jesus. The trouble Gertrude McMaster told her father about is not very serious and will be better in the fall as usual. The water has not yet arrived but it will be taken faithfully. She will answer Gertrude's letter before school starts on Sept. 10. Things are unsettled now at the Convent. Mother Mary Walburga is delayed coming home; Sisters are being sent to the West; the Order is waiting for news from England on appointments of superiors; and Sisters are being changed from house to house. She asks her father to tell Mr. Onahan that four Sisters are going to Lincoln, Nebraska on Wednesday and to ask him to meet them in Chicago where they have to change trains. Mother Annunziato [Annunciata?], Mother St. Rita, and Srs. M. Cecelia and Agnes are going to Lincoln. Mother M. Walburga will not return until these nuns reach Lincoln, and will probably miss St. Teresa's feast day. Since she does not write Helen McMaster, Sister Teresa of Jesus very often, she sent her a long closely written letter the previous week. Mother Ignatius and the others are very good to her so her health is sure to be better by Christmas. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
