Good Sentiments
Use.

Dear Sister Gertrude:

Your last letter
I received. Sister came home safe and well. I also
received the 50 Doll. I send you Barbara I think anyhow
that she will do her best she has a good heart and a good
will what more can we ask if a person tries there
best she was sometimes disobedient but she begs pardon
when she wants anything. I beg you dear sister to
keep her in obedients all you can and let her know
that she only a novice did not make a vow
yet. She dont know nothing about the sisters the
way they act around on missions so you can do
something with her. Humble her sometimes
she gets it from me just to keep her up not to get
proud. I want her to study all she can she must learn
to play too. She can help to wash and work
what ever you want her to do its better they help some
work around not to get them so that they dont want to
do anything. You know I have no kitchen sisters to send to you
what can I do. Antonia is not back yet and I am not
certain of her coming though I am ready to assist you all
I can try and get along till retreat then we might be
able to help you. Send that other candidate away we
cant use her she can go to Rev. Fassles again. I heard
Veronica was so sausy I dont want such candidates tell
her mother about it and tell her that she will be send away
dont send her to Barton if she is so. I dont want her she can
go home. Sister told me about her telling a story in
confession just tell P.C. he must know it or else he thinks he
