10 - 8 - 87 2021-11-04/206 Dear Miss Martin Could you doubt that anyone will feel more deeply than myself the departure of Fr David ? - and, whatever you may say, I think I fully realize what a loss it is for Glenstal. Even now, when the disagreement was growing every day, I felt his advices so reliable and considered. God knows and He knows only himself - what arose between Fr David and...well, I cannot say and myself, for he did not reproach me anything but to follow too exactly the lines he thought unwise, but that he knew knew I was not free to change. Is Fr Abbot right or not, future will probably show; but I dont think I ever underestimated Fr David as a counsellor and faithful brother and friend. Only, in the last times my position grew intolerable, because my thing everything was recalling us to the painful disagreement between him and my superior. I shall not say I am a victim; but I would not like to be thought a torturor. Even that painful situation did not prevent all my efforts to be in order to keep Fr David in Glenstal. Our hope is in God, and I am sure that he will provide for the best for M.M.M. and our little Glenstal. Yours very affectionately in Xp.
