Jesus, Mary, Dominic & Catherine
I only write this note to apoligise[2] for whatever was wrong in my letter of last night. I humbly ask that you will make allowences[3] for the excitable state I was in I cannot now tell exactly what I wrote, but I was very upset & fear my letter annoyed you. I am so suffering. I can't bear to be in my room alone, though I am not speaking to anyone, but I can't pray and am so upset in Soul. I shall be so thankful if Our dear Mother will change me. Whatever you have said or done for me in writing to her is well, & I am sorry I objected to your sending on my letter. I feared that She will see how my difficulties as to Confession are as they used to be, & thus keep me away always from my Convent but its all well dear Reverend father whatever you do. only please for the sake of my Vocation, also for my salvation continue to be my spiritual father. Ip2am sure to go on quietly enough again when I have once been to you for a good Confession, you know I have not been more than to my weekly Confessions now for some time, & I will try to be very obedient, I am not going at all to holy Communion, don't blame me, because you don't know all that has happened I would so much prefer to wait untill[4] I can come to you Reverend father, it seemed to upset me so much those two last Confessions.
I will do nothing untill[5] I hear again from Stone, & will not write again to you unless there is something in Our Mother's letter to communicate.
Ordo Sancti Dominici
