She has just received McMaster's letter, and on reading his announcement that it was to be a "Lenten Letter" she was prepared for some Lamentations—either of McMaster's own or from Scripture. In any case his letter would have been welcome. The paper has been signed and is ready to be returned to him. The Mother Superior said she would ask the sacristan about the palms, and would let McMaster know next week. She thanks him for the soap, and assures him of the prayers of all the Carmelites. She was glad to hear his expressions of sympathy for the Drexel girls, and McMaster's intention to send Pho John Alphonsus McMaster to New Orleans makes her happy. She hopes St. Joseph will take special care of him. She made a mistake about the relic of St. Anne for Mother de Chantal, and sent her a picture of the Holy Face instead. McMaster should not forget that he will be welcome whenever he is able to come. All the Carmelites send him their love and prayers. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
