Scope and Contents

At her request, her father told her where John would be on his birthday. She hopes his twentieth birthday may bring him many blessings. John has seen many new faces since his last visit, but she is sure he has not forgotten them. Her father spoke nicely of John's last letter. She knows he has had little time to write her, but knows also that he will never forget her. She asks him to keep bright and happy, and to avoid idle moments, for they bring sad thoughts. They have had both fun and serious talks together, and now they have Heaven to look forwards to, where there are no more separations. John's letter has just come, and as she has received no other letter from him for a long while she is afraid that the letter of which he speaks has gone astray. The mother of Carrie Thuringer ? has died. She is Sister Johanna's cousin, the girl whom he met at the Rennart Hotel. She encloses some verses. This year again she is making the Seven Sundays of St. Joseph for him. Enclosure: A leaflet of verses "To Jesus In the Blessed Sacraments." :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
