Scope and Contents

Mother Beatrix acknowledges his letter. She is consoled by the knowledge that he was praying for her. She hopes he will be as well soon, and looks forward to seeing him, meanwhile she begs that he take care of himself and regularly take Nourishing food. She has received an answer from Rome the Fa ther General was absent, but his secretary acknowledged the receipt of the draft and assured them it would be sent to Mt. Carmel immediately. The acknowledgement in French praises McMaster's efforts in behalf of the order highly. She also had a letter from Father Denis of St. Teresa Belgium who asks that Mc Master send him the Freeman's Journal no longer, since they are not allowed to receive so many papers. He will continue to pray for McMaster and his family. The Mother Superior of the Ursuline Convent. Columbia. South Caronlina thanks McMaster for his notice in their behalf, for because of it they received $50. from the Sisters of St. Mary of the Woods, Vigo County. Indiana, and Carmel has forwarded them $10. from delayed contributions to the Mt. Carmel fund. Sisters Gertrude and Teresa are doing well. They at Carmel had heard the report concerning Miss McTavish. She had been anxious to enter the Carmelite Convent but could not be accepted for reasons which Mother Beatrix would not write in a letter, but would tell Mc Master privately. She will pray for Alphonsus and for him, hoping that he will be able to come and see them soon. She begs to be remembered to Mrs. Keiley. :: I-2-g A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
