I hope I have answered or understood your question correctly, dear Margaret. As for the relatives <strong>of</strong> your<br />

paternal grandfather I have not the slightest idea; your mother ought to be able to enlighten you on that<br />

line <strong>of</strong> ancestry since she spent several weeks in Fluelen in the year 1906 and became acquainted with a<br />

great many <strong>of</strong> the relatives from her father's side. Of course, this is many years ago moreover, your dear<br />

mother may not have taken such close notice <strong>of</strong> all the relatives as to be able to line them up for a<br />

purpose like the one in question.<br />

Let us hope your comprehensive research will eventually lead to a solution <strong>of</strong> the problem with your,<br />

dear children. Personal¬ly, I am rather dubious as to whether you will really achieve anything; this is not<br />

to discourage you, dear Margaret, but just to tell you my frank opinion. God has had His wise plans for<br />

giv¬ing you and Mr. Riva this cross, this particular cross and not another one. He will be glorified in just<br />

this way. Do you re¬member the Gospel story about the man born blind? Well, Christ told us Himself<br />

that the reason for his being blind was that God's power should be manifested in his cure. Since you, dear<br />

Margaret, do not mind any expense nor travel, why not take the children to some place <strong>of</strong> pilgrimage,<br />

say to good St. Anne <strong>of</strong> Beau Pre’, or to the famous church <strong>of</strong> Brother Andre' at Mount Royal at<br />

Montreal?. Appeal to the Poor Souls and have some Masses said especially for our deceased relatives for<br />

this intention. Make a promise to con¬tribute to the education <strong>of</strong> some missionary priest, in short, have<br />

recourse to the good God who knows and sees all and who can and will help, even by a miracle if your<br />

confidence does not waver. Let me assure you <strong>of</strong> my prayers too in the matter. I can tell you this much,<br />

dear Margaret, that if God does not hear our prayers in the manner we should like Him to grant them, He<br />

will doubtless do something better. Your children will be safeguarded against many dangers <strong>of</strong> the<br />

present times and will easily slip into heaven where they will be glorifying God and increase your<br />

eternal hap¬piness since you were instrumental in bringing, them into this life.<br />

May God bless you, dear Margaret and dear Mr. Riva; as also your dear children: In the love <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Sacred Hearts <strong>of</strong> Jesus and Mary, I am<br />

Ever devotedly yours, Sister Hermine<br />
