- Scope and Content (English)
- After the news which plunged me into sadness I could not write at once; dear Papa always set an example for us; let us cry but may our heart be strong; may our grief never hinder us from accepting the will of God and giving our dear Papa all the help of our prayers; what a consolation that he is now in heaven; when God acts it is with wisdom; what troubles me is uncertainty in regard to you; I hope you will not abandon yourselves to grief; let us have courage and hope in God. Rev. Lefloch has informed me of all and Msgr. Tache has consoled me; Sara wrote me; inform me about arrangements; I need nothing here; our benefactors have shown much interest and sympathy; when I heard the news I thought I was in a dream; I know that by neglecting to write I caused Papa pain; dear grandfather I do not forget you; your children in Canada are well - aunt Lucy, uncle Baptiste, aunt Charlotte, uncle Henry.
