Gertrude hopes his cold has diminished, but that his spirits remain high. She is glad he can make fun for his newly adopted sister, who is good to him. Gertrude has a commission for him from Mother Louise D.C. who is putting him in her nine Wednesday communions, and who congratulates him on his decision to remain near his father. Mother Louise wants him to find out if the letter and the relic she sent to Mother de Chantal in Brooklyn arrived safely. He can find out from his father where Mother de Chantal is staying, for there must be some temporary residence in place of the old St. John's Home, which burned down. Gertrude asks him to thank their father for his long letter, and wonders if John has succeeded in making a "regular dandy" of him yet. She hopes John can get to work soon again, and suggests he teach Lillie and Lee to call him "Uncle Jack". She sends regards to his father and the Keileys. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
