"I received your letter, Mademoiselle, and I was pleased to see your eagerness to share your feelings with me. The best way for you to show them to me is to continue your fervent prayers, in which I have great confidence. I am convinced that you are very anxious to take advantage of the good education you are receiving in the house where you are staying, and I urge you to give it all your attention, and I shall be all the more pleased to follow your progress as I am genuinely interested, Mademoiselle, in what concerns you...".
