Identifier: CMMA I-2-e

Scope and Contents

With a request from the Reverend Mother, Sister Gertrude writes to wish McMaster again a happy birthday. She is taking pride in her mastery of "chaining" and is sending him a pair of beads for Christmas. The Mother-Superior as well as several of the other nuns are going to Holy Communion for him tomorrow. Sister Gertrude encloses a note for Mr. Maurice Francis Egan. She was glad to hear that "Kitten" will make her vows with Sister St. John. Because he has so many things on his mind, she reminds him of the crucifixes. Mother Louise sends best wishes. P.S. She forgot to tell him that the beads were not blessed and that on his next visit, they will talk over enrolling in the Dominican Church and gaining full indulgence. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
