Rev. and dear Mother:
I thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness in sending me Easter greetings. May our risen Lord give you and your Sisters lasting joy and peace.
I am about to make a novena to the Little Flower that I may get $100,000 for six institutions of my diocese, of which five need help at once. I hope for large donations from several quarters. Please ask your Sisters to join me with fervor in asking your new Saint to obtain these donations.
Very faithfully in Xt.
+D. J. Dougherty.
