A word from Mother Bruyère

Mother Bruyère at her desk

October 17, 1845

The new building will be ready to receive us in four to six weeks ; we will not be upset when the time comes to move in.  In our present house, we are exposed to the four winds; there are gaps everywhere.  We are very warm on one side and we freeze on the other.  Every night, we must move our beds; it is most inconvenient, and I fear for the health of the Sisters.Mother Bruyère writing
