My dear child
I was afraid my letter would not reach you in time if sent to Liege.[1] I hope it will find you in Bruges to let you know that I shall be very happy to see you. Come straight to our church, onze lieve Vrouw, the street leading from the church to the river is the one I live in, on the right hand side the third bell.[2]
My sister is at the convent of Heule, on the rail road from Bruges to p2Courtrai; there is a railway station and most of the trains stop there; as there is but one convent it will be easy to find her; her name is sister Colomba.[3] It will be a “surprize" for her indeed!
Hoping to see you soon
I am faithfully yours in Jesus Christ
