Some Important Letters . . . and A LETTER FROM GERMANY Aerzen, Oct. 10, '50 Dear Mother: I received your parcel some time ago. 1 have had an accident and could not write. Now I am well again and want to thank you. Please, do not take it amiss if I ask for some' thing else. I could not go to Holy Communion in Breslau, where everything was destroyed and the Poles and the Russians took hold of the country. And now it is not possible as my mother earns very little. Could you please let me have a white dress and a pair of white shoes? And perhaps also a candle. I would like to go to Holy Communion on Low Sunday. I know that God will hear my prayers and grant them. God bless you. Gratefully yours, BARBARA BLASCHKE Indian Institute of Social Order, St. Vincent Street, Poona I. April 28th, 1951 My dear Rev. Mother: I feel ashamed of my very long silence. You must not think that this is due to indifference or forget' fulness. I can never forget your kindness nor fail to appreciate the immense favour you have done to me by setting apart the 3rd of each month for adoration for my intentions. Every day I pray for you, and for your community. I have to inform you that there is a very big change in my work and status. I have had to leave Loyola College in January as I have been appointed Director of a new Social Institute which Fr. General wanted to be established as a common work of all the Jesuit Missions of India and Ceylon. The Church must play its part in the establishment in India of a just Social Order and in the struggle against Atheistic Communism. For this reason our Society is very keen on the success of the new Institute and it is for that intention above all that I ask you to pray earnestly. Be sure that I continue to depend on your prayers and shall never forget you at Holy Mass every day. Yours sincerely in O. L., J. D' Souza, S. J. Bremen, den 16. Juni 1949. St. Elisabethhaus, Kohlhokerstr. 22 Rev. Mother Frances Ravenhill Academy, Phila. Dear Rev.
