Detailed description: Various matters prior to Father Priors visit. From Mary Martin to Prior of Glenstal. Dear Father Prior This letter will probably reach you in time for the feast of the Immaculate Conception with all my very best wishes to you, all the community, teachers, boys, and staff. I shall be much united with Our Lady and you all on that day in special prayers and know you will not forget me in yours. I have not written much lately as I await your visit to talk all matters over. Also, the getting up so early only for an hour leaves me very tired, and I have not been feeling quite so well the last few days. The big toe is still inclined to be septic, so I fear I shall not be allowed home this week but probably next week. Hope you have good news of Rose If she was insured she should of course draw that from The day she left Glenstal untill she is fit again On the other hand if she is not qualified for the Insurance you will have to pay her till she goes home + give her notice that you are not needing her next term. I enclose the dining room equipment book for Mai so that she will leave all in order before she goes on her holiday + hand over the silver to Fr Hohn_ also he book with particulars of maid up to time of my leaving Glenstal the wages as received from nt John to give him. I have ￡1. belonging to Mary as you will see by her account. Is it time that one of your Fathers ( a german) is at Beaumount ill. I was told there was + I cannot think who it can be. I hope if so he is not seriously ill. Would it be too much trouble, if Matron has the time to pack my things to bring them up leave them at the Station my sister can call for them- I enclose the key of small cupboard you might give to Matron as all my letters are in that + I should like to have them when I get home _ I am not sure whether I shall be here or at home when you come up but all I wish to convey to you is that you are heartily, welcome to stay at Greenbank for a night or more if it is convenient for you on the other hand I quite understand Mr gooss is Mrs G. staf will be more convenient as they are nearer the city but if I were at home you did not want to waste the day hours with me you could come out when you have all your business finished have dinner then have a long talk and stay the night. However I leave everything to you to arrange as suits you best. With grateful thanks for everything your obedient child in Jesus + Mary Sr. Mary We shall arrange about the staff when we meet I asked Matron to give you all her views. M.M 6 Dec '34
