Scope and content
My dear Father,
You will have little time to read long letters. This is only a few lines to say I am with you all the time and pray all may go very well at Glenstal, and to thank you from my very heart for everything.
I am very tired, so have decided to take a few days’ rest before starting hard work with M.M.M.
Miss O’Rourke has just arrived, looking very well and happy.
I rang up Barlow Brisive. The flat there, I fear, is --- too small owing to your stove, so I have asked them to look out for a larger one, or would you like to have it (old playroom, billiard room)?
I shall send you down catalogue of stove for there.
You will hardly have time, but will you ask Dom David to tell my children that I have all arranged at St. josephs and just to wire me what day they come? I shall meet them at Dun Laoghaire Pier.
They are to remain in the train till things bridge to come straight out. God in His usual love has, I think, arranged all for me well there.
They will be able to continue their hidden life of charity, do the works of the little home at Nazareth. I shall probably make the weekend retreat there with them and get them settled down.
No news of the house yet, but everything is just as I would wish, and it all reminds me and keeps me in union with Jesus, My Spouse.
May God clear the way for you at every step and give you all the grace and strength you need.
