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

            To Distinguished Lady
            MARIANNA VERTOVA
                             MALEGNO.
