From Sister Marie‑Dosithée Guérin to Mme Martin, August 11, 1861. Extract.
. . . I am delighted to see you have so much devotion to the Blessed Virgin, continue to honor her and above all through good works. I pray a lot for you and for the little child of the Immaculate Conception (Mrs. Martin had asked the Blessed Virgin to give her a second child. Nine months later Pauline was born on September 7, 1861).
