My dear Aunt,
You told me to write to you to give you news of my health. I am better than Sunday, however I still have a very bad headache. I hope that you are well as well as Jeanne and that Marie is completely cured.
I often think of you and remember how good you have been to me. I don't forget my dear little cousins either and I beg you to tell Marie that I am not writing to her today, but that I will write to her next time to have more things to tell her.
I enter the retreat on Sunday evening, the 1st Communion being always fixed at the 21st; it is now certain that it will not be changed.
Goodbye, my darling Aunt, give Jeanne and Marie a firm kiss for me and keep the biggest kiss for yourself.
Thérèse
child of the Saints Angels
