Le parele di inco- raggiamento e la Benedizione, che vostra Minenza con tanta bonta ha voluto avere per la Signorina Martin e per le sue compagne,sono riuscite loro dd grande conforto e di nuovo stimolo per perseverare nel lore generoso proposito. Msse stanne attualmente continuando e compiendo la loro preparazione negli 1stituti ed Ospedali di qui e sperane in un tempo relativamente breve di poter inviare un primo drapello di infermiere in Nigeria, presse il Prefette Apostolico mons. Moynagh, che ha loro scritte e le ha invitate a recarsi cola, dicende che metteva a loro disposizione un Ospedale della Prefettura Apostolica. Durante questi mesi, confomme alle venerate direttive di Yostra Mminenza, non abbiamo mancato di esporre il nostro desiderio A queste Autorita diocesane.

The words of encouragement and the blessing that Your Eminence, with such kindness, has given to Miss Martin and her companions have been a great comfort to them and a new incentive to persevere in their generous purpose. They are currently continuing and completing their preparation in the institutions and hospitals here, and they hope, in a relatively short time, to send a first group of nurses to Nigeria, to the Apostolic Prefect Mons. Moynagh, who has written to them and invited them to come there, stating that he is making a hospital of the Apostolic Prefecture available to them. During these months, in accordance with the revered directives of Your Eminence, we have not failed to express our desire to these diocesan authorities. For now, Miss Martin and her companions can form a kind of private association, confident that one day they will be able to establish a recognized religious congregation either by a bishop in Ireland or in Nigeria. Bowing to the kiss of the sacred Purple and renewing the expression of the most vivid gratitude, I profess myself, Your Most Reverend Eminence's most humble and obedient servant.
