Dear Sister Gertrude, I received your sorrowful letter in regard of the sister I am sorry that she acts so in M. Send her down next monday and Poten. too if she dont want to stay anyhow dont keep them up there any longer. Try and get a teem to take them down if Benedicta dont wish to stay in the Convent she should come down to Barton next week Rev F. said so for her to come. Its awful the way our sisters are acting dont say no more encourage her to go to Barton till his obedient is better. You better write a nice letter to the Superintend tell him that the school Clerk wishes the sisters to teach the school three months longer and that Miss Victorie is going to go to the mother house you can excuse her thou her health is poor too. I think he will let you take the school so long without Examination if you write him a nice letter and tell him that the Clerk was

was willing for you to take it he was satisfied tell him that you are the Irish sister so he knows what sister it is. Mr. Schmitz wrote me a letter too he dont want Benedicta to leave but dont say anything to her that I wrote it to you just send her down next monday to please Rev Father dont forget for he might get angry and think you might not let her go, for she writes to him too. While she is gone you teach the english school and Lidwina take the larger children and Veronica or the other Candidates take the lower class if you could come down with her it would be better yet so I could see what to do and who you are to take back with you. Dont get me in trouble dear sister with Rev F send her down and if Potenceana wants to come just let her come too. I wrote you a couple days ago all the news I had Rev F Schillinger is in Barton they say he is a nice man and very humble but I did not see him yet. Mrs. Pingien is in Barton now she came last whednesday from St. J. she is going to stay here now till she gets another

mission she liked it better anyhow in M. than in St J. but she is well contended yet. She would be glad to see you all again it makes me feel good to see her here again. Rev F. De Witt send us a nice candidate but she has no education either. I hope you will come down to Barton to see us I long for the time to see you again. I dont feel well this week I am tired out from St Bridgets too. Do sister come if you can How is Lidwina getting along? Give my best respects to her and tell her to be happy and giving to the Blessed Virgin more and to pray for me too. I forgot to sent you Patess letter I thought I put it in and last week I seen it in my drawer so you must excuse me for I did not mean to tell sister Rosa that P. Guardian told me about that sermon she gave the sisters over in Barton. Rev F. told him when he was up on Calvary along time ago he laughed so much because Rev F. thought so much about that. He asked me where is Catherin

I told him she was in Brotherstown he said he though she was much for a school sister but she was a good girl He told us what she preached in the chapel when I see her again I can tell her better what he said. Dear sister you can tell Blums that Anna is not gone to Appleton we sent another sister there that she is going with another sister but I dont know when they might come and see her perhaps she has to go to Defiane yet but I am not certain, I must come to a close we are going to have Vespers this evening and I must prepair our singers we have 18 candidates you may tell F.

Dear Sister:

I must answer your letter in the bed. There was some trouble in Appleton and Little Chute so I had to go up there again and I took a very bad cold got wet a couple times Sister Benedicta arrived in Barton Tuesday evening I was just that day in Fond du Lac both are making a retreat as Rev. F. gives next week they are going to Defiance. I am sorry that P.C. is angry at her she ought to thanked him also before she left. Sister Josephine better stay up there now till you come down the stage is not going till the roads are better therefore she can help Lidwina teach and if you wish you can keep her up there for Barbara is not as good as I thought she was and I dont want to give her the habit till she is better. Sisters left Schleisingerville they are going to have a priest of there own
