However, you must know that I never get tired of reading
yours, and this time I will wait for one soon, a long one that will
cheer me, though I do not deserve it.
Dearest, let us love Jesus, let us love Mary. Let us do
our best to make others love them, for they absolutely deserve
it. I hope I will soon be able to send you the new Rules for our
Pious Union. Meanwhile, have patience because the things
that we long for most are the very things that come off most

So long, dear Lucia; I leave you with the aged Simeon to
enjoy the company of the Child Jesus. I am

Lovere, 2 February 1829.

Your poor Sister
BORTOLAMEA OF JESUS
