Letter 142

TO DON ANGELO BOSIO
She sends him devotional practices in occasion of the election of a new
Pope - She offers extra copies for priest members - Modest idea of herself.

HAIL TO JESUS AND MARY

Very Reverend Father Superior,

In my negligence I have delayed to this day to send you
the enclosed papers, and as a result I have committed another
mistake; I mean to say: I have already sent to members
residing outside Lovere copies of the first paper with practices
for the Election of the Pope, and today I have given copies
also to those in town, without first submitting them to you for
approval. Next time I will try to be more diligent. I have also
prepared the spiritual journey to Loreto for the Novena of the
Annunciation, but I cannot send it to you just now, because I
have only one copy of it. I will give it to you very soon, though,
so that I may then send it to members residing out of town, not
to give them cause for reproaching me again. In fact, they
continually complain that they often lose the first days of the
novena because I am too slow in sending it.
Please let me know if you want a few copies for any of
the priest-members of the Union, and I will gladly get them
