1 Sisters of the Holy Faith, St. Mary's, 81, Haddington Road, Dublin. July 20th 1916 My dear Miss O'Rahilly You will be delighted
to hear that your two
pupils passed the
Matriculation success-
fully and got Certifi-
cates for Irish, Latin
French Mathematics
and English. Many
thanks for all the the concluding paragraph of this letter is in the top left hand corner of this page and has been transcribed at the end (page 4) 2
trouble you have taken
with them. I really do
not know how you
managed to get them
up, in Irish in one
year. We are all very
very grateful to you.
I did not forget you
during the Retreat.
I never forget your
dear, noble-hearted
Brother R.I.P. whom
our dear Lord has
taken to himself.
Our loss is indeed 3
his gain. I enclose
a little badge for the
dear little baby. I will
depend on you to give
me the pleasure of seeing
it. I would also
like to have the honour of
Consecrating it to our
Blessed Lady and the
Sacred Heart unless
Mrs. O'Rahilly has
other arrangements.
Please tell her that
I pray for her every
day. She is one of 4
Gods Chosen Ones since
she has got so much of
His Cross. I feel that
the Sacred Heart will
bless and sustain her
under It. May our dear
Lord comfort her in her
heavy trial under which
she has been so good
and resigned. I hope
you are enjoying a well
earned rest. I am in
Glasnevin yet, but will
go away after a few day
until the 21st of August
when school will re open here. the concluding paragraph of this letter is contained in the top left hand corner of page one and is transcribed below 5 Good bye now and
take care of your
dear self and
come back quite
strong. With best love I am Yours affectionately Sr M Marcella
