--- Page 1 --- 27/10/35 + Caritas Glenstal Priory? Greenbank Norkstown Christ Our King 1535. 27.10.35 2021-09-02/165 My dear Father Prior, At last a day of prayer & rest for which I thank God. My time has not been in vain I believe for M. M. M. "Mary Murphy has proved herself during these last few months to be a thorough & humble little soul with I believe a true religious vocation, possessing qualities very usual for pioneer work. So there fixed for her to you the little group on the Spiritual. 2) Miss Little seems another good type. she is to see Father Kelly --- Page 2 --- after such I shall see her again & probably come to some definite arrangement 3) Dick Doyle (P. Boylan's past housekeeper) is very anxious to go in if the Doctor passes her but she is held up by her confessor. The Law asked me leave to come down for a few days when the Canon goes on holicays, if she finds R. M. M. is wre she she she she god wishes her to se, she will take the responsibility of going herself - she seems a very nice refined type of girl, spiritual & humble. 4) There are two fully quathricel sures shaw yet to get in touch with. One a Miss Mc Jurney recommend. --- Page 3 --- 27/10/35 2. To me by my Sister the Domenican. she may call out at flewstal to see me any day - she is stationed somewhere near flewstal & Las Said she will call - should she call during my attence may I ask either you or Don David in your charity to meet her & then perhaps make an arrangement for her to call to see me some other day - I ask you to pray specially for these two souls, for fool to guide them & us - The other two I saw grand souls but no religious vocation. I thank fool from my heart for the remark you make of Mary's children, she & Our Dilmi dood will form them after their own hearts I lelive & pray for - --- Page 4 --- I look forward to seeing sack with them & you all - Unless something imforseen turns up, I shall return on the ex of All Saints sey the 5 O'ck train - I shall see F. Kelly on Thursday morning early. I agree with you in what you say about the proposed works - my desire is in all things to try & live up to truly religious principles never acting injustly & anyone - I feel strongly writed to live sey faith & trusting at so hully in Church for our maintenance & to handle works of our lands as did The Fathers in the Desert - to sing is in the necessaries of life but when it comes to our work the problem seying - I pray much for heavenly light on all --- Page 5 --- 27/10/35 3. these points & ten guidance from our supernatural Fathers at flustal. For the present I think for the estra fws Ishall love sufficient orders of work to keep them occupied & fring in enough to keep them clothed. For the College I have received Nall paper at a very low price, the little fire place is ready for our room, perhaps we can use it in the Lodge - instead. Now to the all important things of flustal. " I am writing to Swirpool as you requested. Was it £60 the Ratnie people demand. This seems very expensive. " Ishall send you fish for Fathers for Thursday also for College & fring with me for Friday & Saturday. The Fathers could have --- Page 6 --- Eggs on Wednesday. Be doing so we shall save much postage expense. c) I shall send you all necessary for Hallow. Love. There are some nuts in the store cupshoard in the kitchen, as well you will need Apples, if F. Antert cannot supply them they can be ordered on Tuesday from Semerick. I shall send you good Barn-backs with ring etc in them also Chest. nuts. What the Loegs enjoy most is having a Bon. fire of weather permits & roast the Chest. nuts. also melting the lead & putting it through a key making beautiful casties etc. If I can I shall send you a little Look on Hallows Love. Shall I send you two Barn-backs for the Fathers for to for you the feast of all Samits? as the Love is a fast dug for the Nonks. --- Page 7 --- 4. 4) I am glad Miss Nogragh can do any change you require. I arranged the them during my absence of all things I was sure she could do. I ploach much over the toys at flustal in the way of their food, which is excellent & as good if it letters them at some of their homes. I personally think they should each be served with the dish of the day they often refuse through labit & with a preconceived notion they do not like the thing. The parents will not be able to eater absolutely for their tastes - also often one sup "No" then a chorus of "Nos" so on - I am watching Sutter problem for you - wory one eats much Sutter but of course under control. I think smaller pates & only allow --- Page 8 --- 2 for each slice of Bread. 2) The Esse Cooker is going very well & satisfactory here, economical on fuel & very clean cooking all things. Scartfully sat for fluster you would need the Esse Major without doubt. 3) Denclore last letter from Mr. Ne Nastur. Shope Matron is satisfied with all sent 8 her for Phoenix. Let me know if there is any thing I can do for you or any of the Fathers. Miss G' Loughlin cannot leave till the rd of Ms. as she has to be there the whole month, she only gave notice on the 3rd of Sept. she will come down on Monday 4th S. V. Mary will be leaving on Wednesday --- Page 9 --- 27/10/35 day No 30th so I think it Letter & ask Miss Ryan (George Paul's wife sister) & come on Thursday, Friday & Saturday rest week from 2-30 & 6pm I shall write to her & ask her to call on you. How much will you give her a day, she haves this arrangement & you - As it is time for Benediction a post. I close with all loving wishes & worryes - I write to my children but they will not have it till Tuesday, you can give them all the good news - Remember me to Our Lord Your grateful child for god St Mary
