      Very Rev. and dear Father Provincial,

      I arrived here Thursday and found my brother very sick. He had a stroke of paralysis and has for a year been suffering from other very serious ailments. He received the Last Sacraments yesterday.

      Please pray for him and ask Father Antoine and Father Constantineau to do so. Also the other Fathers and Brothers of the Provincial home.

      I remain dear Father Provincial
      Yours fraternally
      ?

        Thank you so much Elizabeth I couldn't quite make out the writing.
        Thanks Chrissie, not sure why it never worked for you but thanks for taking the time to try.

            My memory is going into overdrive & not doing very well but isn't this something in latin that means 'by the grace of God'
            Hmm think that may be 'DOM' oh well.

              This one I know, it's OMI. Something like order of Mary immaculate.
