Church of the Del. Sacrament Elk. California, U.S.A. Dec 4. 1924. Very Rev. and dear Father Provincial: I wish you personally, and all the Provincial a very Happy Christmas, and a New Year full of blessings. Thank you cordially for your prompt kindness in getting me affiliated to the Province. Also I take this opportunity to thank you for the kind letter and food wishes you sent to Dr. Pascal and I, from Abotstown, before sailing for home. Dr. Pascal joins me in the greetings and food wishes for Christmas and New Year. The Mill here shut down, at the end of September for 6 months. The town is dead. No Wages. But God is food to us. As you saw from the Books here, we have enough to weather a longer time than 6 months. I wish you all expressed on the enclosed leaflets, and every bistraish Years Obediently & Maternally H. Sebastian P.S. Someone sent me a copy of the Bush Catholic with a sketch of our Missions here in it. Was glad to set it.
