Identifier: CMMA I-2-e

Scope and Contents

Sister Gertrude received McMaster's letter on last monday. She wonders if Bishop William Gross has paid him a visit yet. The day the bishop preached at Sister Aloysius' funeral he said he intended to go to New York at the end of this week. She was glad McMaster visited Mrs. McComb as it would be a consolation to her in loss of Minnie. Minnie is a nice child and as he says has a singularly good face. She knows he prays hard for her indeed, she needs it. The Mother and all the Nuns write with little Teresa and herself in love to the "Father of the Community". She received his letter and the oranges this afternoon. The Mother Prioress told her that the account of the sister's death in the "Catholic Mirror" was authentic. She includes the facts about the sister. Sister Gertrude saw Sister Aloysia just before her death. She wishes he would send a beads soon, and also the lamp Sister Teresa would like to burn for him during May. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo.
