I did not promise him for certain he spoke to me and I do not think that I gave him a decided answer. Tell him if I was at home I could do no better. As the Sister is sick. You write but not under my command just in Vicaria's name. But write to him immediately also to Sister Petra and state the circumstance about that candidate in Pine Bluff Send her a list and if she can comply to it, she may come. She can come with the Sisters to retreat. Write also for those Sacred Heart books and send the bill to the Sisters in St. Peters. Sister Vicaria might send Sr. Philomine a habit. I think

Laughling [?] Cary has sour habit, cape and veil. When we were crossing [?] shoe curve I got so weak I could hardly speak. F. Allman was so kind he travelled with us to Altoona. Sister Julia is doing well I think the air here is doing her very good good, but she don't want to stay out here. F [?] wants to go out west but he says he will go in winter in summer the grass hoppers are so bad they would stop the cars. Today we had examination Sr. Barbara's school is really the best I ever attended. her children recite so nice. I wish you could see it. Order the best and in every thing it would astonishish you.

F. Custos wrote to me and said that he would bring a new ordained priest along for Trinity Sunday. Sr. Vicarice [?] shou;d make nice wreath, perhaps get the may flowers if she can't make them in Dayton, Ohio, and have a frame for it.

Sr. Regina should make a nice congratulattion and let one of them learn it by heart; but no poetry. His door should also be decorated and the entrance to the stair halls. I think I will be home in time.
