Mesdemoiselles, I Wish to thank you for the beautiful offering you sent us. I pray with all my heart that the little Jesus will bless you and grant you all that you desire. I am a little orphan. seven years old. I had the happi- ness of making my First Holy Communion privately last year, and since then I have received Holy Com- munion often. We are about forty little girls and we all pray for our dear benefactresses. Very gratefully, Your little protegee, ANDREE PALUSSIERE.
