John's letter and the papers have been received and she is glad he had such a pleasant visit with his uncle. Sister St. John McMaster, S.H.C.J. must have been glad to see him. She is sure Mrs. Keiley did all in her power to make John's birthday a happy one. The death of Major John J. Keiley's mother makes Sister Gertrude feel that the old people are slipping away, and makes her feel anxious about their Aunt Brown. She asks John to enlist Mrs. Keiley's help, and see that their Aunt makes her Easter communion. She feels they owe her very much, for she was very kind when their mother first came to New York. Next Friday will be Sister Teresa McMaster, D.C.'s twenty-third birthday. The Mother Superior wondered where the letter from the Father-General which was reprinted in the Freeman's Journal came from. She asks John to tell her when he will write the promised letter. She sends regards. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. Enclosure: a holy card.
