Marie Lamego, Rio de Janeiro: "You may be sure I haven't forgotten you or Boscombe and still hope to see you again . . . Such a lot of things have happened since we left England and everything has changed so much all over the world. Eugenie is thinking of going to Europe in August for the Holy Year Festivals, and if she goes over to England she hopes to see you."

Mrs. Everett, mother of Patricia and Tony: "I can never forget your great kindness to my husband and myself in respect of our children and your endearing sympathy in times of trouble."

Dorothy Treanor (Mackie): "'It is wonderful to know that this year marks our dear Reverend Mother Kelly's Jubilee. I shall offer my share of the spiritual bouquet and am enclosing a small cheque. I wish it could have been more . . . I have had an anxious time as my husband has been very ill, but I am thankful he is better."

Eileen Welch (Dame Werburgh, O.S.B.) at Stanbrook Abbey wrote sending congratulations to Reverend Mother Kelly.

Felicity Rose (Sister M. Alma) in Czechoslovakia: "It is with a sincere heart dear Reverend Mother that I offer you, Sister Elizabeth and Sister Margaret Mary my congratulations. Thank you at the same time for everything especially, for Catechism and Adoration on the First Fridays. I often pray that God may pay my debt for me."

Felicity's brother Michael writing from Heythrop College: "1 hope you will accept this little message as a token of what I feel towards you and cannot adequately express. One of my dearest ambitions is to be able to celebrate Holy Mass in your beautiful Chapel and I hope that, if that privilege is ever granted to me, you will be there even as you were there when I made my First Holy Communion."

Recently sad news has reached us from Mrs. Rose: "I received a post card from. Felicity telling me that they (The Mother House) were moving to Bohemia, and from what she briefly told me I guessed these poor brave nuns were another victim of the Communist persecution . . .

After many weeks of suspense another message came - she said they were only given one day's notice to move. There are over one hundred nuns from six places. Isn't it simply heartbreaking to think what those nuns must be suffering, though I know their reward will be great." We are sure that all will give Sister Alma and her companions a constant remembrance in their prayers.
