She praises and encourages her fervour.

HAIL TO JESUS AND MARY

My Dearest Sister in Jesus Christ,

At last I succeeded in finding the salad you wanted and
now I am sending it to you. Next week I shall send you the
other lot, if you like. I can’t tell you how much joy your visit
brought me. Your fervour and all your virtues have
overwhelmed me. I would love to be like you, but I realize I am

too far behind you. For charity’s sake continue to accept me as
your Sister, and let me partake of the vast good that you do.
I informed Don Bosio of the happy outcome of the
instructions you carried out, and he was very glad. He then
asked me if you had shown Fr. Taglierini the letter that Fr.
Ballardini had written to you. I said you had not done so. I’m
not sure if that is true or not.
Pluck up new courage in this holy undertaking. You will
undoubtedly have God’s blessing for it.
