those who most deeply afflict the Heart of Jesus. Unworthy
though I am, I will do the same for your Sodality.
Tomorrow morning I will go and get the book and the
medals you asked me for, and will send them to you in the
same cover. As to the trimming you wanted, I could not find
any like the sample, though I searched for it in all the shops of
that type. They all sold out a short time ago. In one shop,
however, there is found just about two yards of it.
Please write to me and tell me what I should do, and I
will be glad to serve you. Meanwhile, I am keeping the money;
when I know what you want, if I cannot do anything else for
you, I will send it back to you without delay. I must tell you,
however, that you should not have sent the money
beforehand. You must treat me with greater simplicity and
familiarity. I expect it from you; that is the manner I use with
you, too. Let this serve you as a rule for another time, then. I
will soon send you the book of St Aloysius.
Our Rev. Superior, Bosio Sisters, my Parents and
Camilla send you their best wishes. They were all happy to
hear that you have regained your health almost fully.
May God make you a Saint. I am
Your poor Sister
BORTOLAMEA OF JESUS
