obstacles prevent me at the moment from calling girls to me;
but nothing will prevent me from accepting to suffer and doing
what will give greater honour to Mary, and what I will be
advised to do. I don’t know who is at the bottom of this
situation: whether it is the devil trying to disturb a good thing or
else Mary because she is not quite pleased with what I do,
because it is done badly and out of pride. Do pray Mary to find
a remedy for this. However, you are very fortunate because
there is so much that you can do: do it gladly and Mary will
reward you for it. I will without any trouble hand to Giulia and
Lucia Romelli the practices for the month, since I happen to be
the one who should propose them. Your Holy Communions
have had a very good effect; they were meant to let Don
Angelo remain here in Lovere, God willing, and at this point we
are practically sure he will stay. Thank you very much; I will
repay my own debts to you. As to the letter you mentioned, I
handed it straightaway to Don Angelo. In fact, after we had

talked a good bit about you, he admitted that he had not yet
written to you. If you want me to tell him anything on your
behalf, write it out to me. Giovanna Bosio sends you her best
wishes and asks you to remember her in your prayer. All your
other friends do the same, and so too my Parents and Camilla.
Most beloved in the Lord, goodbye.
Ever yours

28 April 1826
Your loving Sister and Friend
B. C.
