2023-06-14/664 Glengaskiff Road, Bantry, Co. Cook. 2/7 - VII-31 in Canan Rev. Fr. David, I hope you are not annoyed at my delay in writing to you, but I thought it best to wait until after the examination. I am home on Hollidays now. As for the exam. I am sure that I did it good. I am satisfied with myself and that is a consolation in itself. So I am hoping for the best. Well I have thought over that difficult subject of choosing a state in life. I now give you my answer that I wish to serve God faithfully and well in the Order of St Benedict. It was difficult to choose but I prayed to Mary and I knew that I should succeed. I am happy now. I am enjoying my Hollidays immeasly. I gave your letter to my mother and she too agreed now It would be bent is pay you

a visit. But there is one "snag" which I would like to make clear, that that I would not be able to pay any money if such is needed. As I told you before I are pair and happy but I could get lotters or anything else all right. I would like to know a lot more about St Benedict. I know scarcely nothing. If you had a book on his life I would study it most carefully and I would return it safely. I have one of the leaflets you left in the school but there are only bare outers in that. I would be very much obliged you would be explicit in your next lotter as to the financial part of the story. When I get the good result of the escar. I shall appoint a day on which I shall get to see you but please write some as that will not be out until the middle of August. Hoping to hear from you soon Yours, E. Treiler & Mahony 3/7/1936.
