             27 December 1917   Dear F<hi rend="underline">r</hi>Provincial—   Very many <lb/>thanks indeed for Xmas Card <lb/>which arrived in good time. I had <lb/>a most consoling Xmas as all my <lb/>boys were free to get to Confession <lb/>&amp;Holy Communion &amp; they came in <lb/>parties to the three Masses. We had <lb/>to <hi rend="underline">dig</hi> our church &amp; cover it with bags <lb/>etc —most of the men were in the open <lb/>under a very hard frosty wind &amp; although <lb/>the ground was covered with frozen snow <lb/>they knelt all during Mass, and sang <lb/>the Adeste &amp; other hymns magnificently.   The weather still continues very hard &amp; <lb/>difficult for travelling still all parties <lb/>are sticking it very well.   Goodbye Father Provincial with best wishes <lb/>for New Year   Your obedient child   Jack Fitzgibbon SJ  <lb/>P.T.O.
