I also hope you were not too rushed for your trainand that your found your neice very well and happy in Ireland? Please accept my very sincerest thanks for giving me so much of your valuable time, since your talks I am renewed in spirit and courage and feel confident M.M.M. will be formed as God Wills under the influence and guidance of The Sons of Saint Benedict and Dom Marmion. We are Preveleged, and I hope in some small way we shall be of use to you though it can I fear only be in the material sense. How is the poor finger? I am very glad to thank you will have it dressed regularly and by expert hands. I wrote to Matron yesterday expecting her for all she was doing for me during my absence and for the way she had arranged the works under your direction for Miss O'Rourke and Miss Leyden. I also mentioned that the staff could go for a long walk with her once every two weeks. I also asked her if she would like me to write to Marry. I am enclosing the paper with the few questions you wish to decuss with Dom David as well as the copy of an agreement as I drew up, When you have all details decussed and we have a mutual agreement between us, I shall type a copy of same and send it down to you. I hope you found Dom Columba in good spirits and not suffering too much I think very often of him. You know of course if it would be helful or convenient for Dom Columba to stay here on his way he will be very welcome. I must close now to catch the post with all good wishes to you and all The Monks Boys, Teachers and Staff. I do not expect an answer to this for a long time you will be very busy on your return. Your ever grate and Hope Obedient Child,
