23-30 (?) October 1887
Dear Little Sister,
I cannot tell you how much your letter made me happy, thank you for wishing me so well on my birthday, I would have liked to write to you immediately but we are in such a hurry now that it was impossible for me. Céline can't write to you because she has too much to do, but that doesn't stop her from thinking about her little sister whom she loves so much, she asks me to kiss you. You tell me in your letter to pray to Blessed Marguerite-Marie to obtain for you to become a Saint Visitandine, I never miss a single day.
Thank you for letting me know to look at my pretty baby Jesus, he's not damaged, he's as fresh as when you left him, I kissed his little foot for you, his little hand seemed bless you from afar.
Dear sister, I have a lot to tell you but
