P. Michael's House, 2 Alpha R. New Cross S.E.14 16th January 1954 2023-10-24/863 Reverend Father Prior, I receive this Saturday, the Say ghourlady, you kind letter of 14th January, and I am very grateful to you to take our request into consideration, as I understand quite well there are so many matters for the Council of a Monastery. Although I shall secure you importunate, as I shall tell "to be instant in season, out of season", and as I know, by father Hubrovic, that almongst It Joseph's monks some ones are "the obligingness itself", some ones are "very ungaveled" and that their retirement Prior is "especially comely" being sure you will at least, try to help his, I take the liberty to specify to you certain points: I don't mind at all to settle in a large town. We have several houses in Paris, Brussels, and this one in London: there are always for people in these places 2) Beside the great fiftiest of obtaining the her- mission of this kind ship the Bishop, for which we meet a servant advocate and part, after the even, all our hope in you, I think we should rather en- tirely manage afterwards. We have friends in Gre- land, the families of our Irish sisters, especially that one who is native of Dublin: those people are heavily looking forward our coming and will do everything to settle us.

3) I think really we could so some useful work in Ireland: for example, the parish of Crunlin, in Dublin, to which our sister belonged, is a new city of workmen, growing day by day, with heaps of children. There are no sisters to help the mothers, the old and sick people, the little sisters of the same tion being at the opposite end of Dublin, and the laity cannot look over all the works. And I finish reverent Father Siror, by giving you his last reason, quite in the great Just tradition since Sr. Atrich, and which will certainly touch you: that is, by this way, you would have worked for the extension of the The Son of Eos. Because, of our now blessed the future little Just house, of the servants of the Son, by giving it generous sub- sects, more than needs the work in that same place, it would be a great help for "lagrande pitie" see provisses de France. I spent several years in the North, in a coal men's city, and I know this case (one hence hundreds of other ones): a fair price, more than eigh- ty years old, above in a city of four thousands people, sufficiating since twenty years to have servants of the Son to help him for the sick and saying people, for the children, catechisms etc., and Mother General offices to refute to him, and to several other priests, having no sisters enough. Keeping all our confidence in our habit, in her fears and in our dear Don Marrion (as, without sight: cultives, faith would not be required!), thanking you very much for your prayers, you kindly promish, and asking your believing for our work, I remain reverent Father Siror Your respectfully Sr. Graceful S.
