Hazotte_Letters_1

I suppose Pat. will leave yet I dont think she has much vocasion. Many happy hours we spent but they are all past now we have all our troubles trials one as well as the other our Lord must help in these times. Sister could I ever express myself how I feel here. Sister Prefecta is a very funny person too, she dont agree with the mistress of the Candidates (Sister Alphonsa) because she has nothing much to say to them if I would not be here they could never learn anything she keeps them to busy runing around for her I dont like that either. Now I will tell you about Cacilia I done all I could by Rev F. and even had a dispute about because I was trying to send her up there she also wished to go at least pretended so a few days before the feast she was going around look so sad and did not speak hardly so I asked her the reason, she said she was sorry if sisters come from Marytown she would like it well enough if she would not have to go along and said openly she did not like it there and did not care for going again you may think how I felt what must Rev. F. think? Rev.F. wants to send her to Defines in Ohio next Spring she is going to take lessons this week grammar and musick from Margaret. If you dont get along better after this I spoke enough to Lidwina I hope it will all go right again have a little patient with Lidvina. Father Sailes just wrote me again for sisters they have a three story house of brick or stones its a very nice mission I would send Livina there but I have no one that will do to send in her place either of course if you dont get along we must do something that will never

do obedient must be and I will always say so if they dont stick with the head one its not right dont allow them to be always talking secret beware of Pat. too I am sorry that I must here that it make me feel so bad I could cry dont let them go to Communion so often if there is no peace in the house. Dear Sister come down soon you know we been so long together and now parted it does seem lonely to me anyhow but I must keep it to myself many a tear I have shed since we parted, though we new how to get along together if we had all faults on us as others we did not keep our anger in our heart locked it was in a minuet gone at least with me. Pray for one another God has laid a hard burden on me I must think its his holly will or else I could not stand it here. Write to me after you know I was always true to you and what I new you also new. If it would chance that you would come down once you must write me because I might just not be at home and I would not like that well. I will send you a little of my feast presents I was so sorry that you could not come it was very nice, anyhow P. Cagetan could let you go I would not write you to come but I new that we wanted to go every year yet and could never go I must close pray for me and remember me in the Holly Sacrifies from your ever true Sister Mary Agnes good by dear Sister

In Christ

Barton March 18, 1870.

Dear Sisters:

I hasten to address you a few lines I suppose you will soon be coming down to Barton. I was at the mission in St Bridgets F. Guardian kept it F. Salanus was with him it was very nice, we had to cook for them so he had a nice chance to talk about our Community. I must say he was so good and kind to us and stickt up for us very much. He told me to try and buy some land near Fond du Lac where the new Depot is there was some land pretty cheap yet and build a mother house and take the schools in the City They could assist us more be says Barton

was a miserable place for a motherhouse I think if he was not for us he would not say to com near them he told Rev. F. the same. We went twice to confession to him he was so good I never found a better one; when the mission was over they came down to Barton so we all went together to Barton but we had two sleds one for us and one for them. He gave us a little [unclear] now too in the chapel. Now dear Sisters I suppose you heard that F Reindl left Barton last friday morning he is gone to Paris in Wisconsin Rv F Schillinger is going to take his place here we expect him tomorrow evening. Sister Dorothea is very sick she was not able to talk from wednesday evening till sunday evening she send for me so I had to come I am here in St P. Paul today I came yesterday afternoon, she is better now and is able to talk but I fear

she will not recover she has the consumtion but it seems our Lord dont want any of the sisters of St Agnes to die yet. Pray for her you may let her mother know this she is pretty sick, but dont frighten her. I must come to a close I hope to see you soon then we can talk enough about matters I must let you know that sister Julia, Aurea and Theresia went to Appleton this moring to take the german mission the sisters in both Congregations are going to live together in one house for a time. Give my love to the sisters and tell F. Cayston about the sisters leaving give also my love to him and the singers also. From your ever true sister M. Agnes

Susana Tohl is just here she sends her best respects to you.
