Lettre de l'honorable M. John H. Farrell, directeur du
Times Union, A lbany, N. Y.
May 11th., 1895,
Reverend and Dear Mother,
The children tell us the Mother House will celebrate its 50th anniversary, its Golden Jubilee next month,
Permit us to tender our congratulations and earnest wishes for still greater success in the work in which you are all engaged.
We have pleasant and sacred memories of dear Mother Teresa, the foundress of the Convent..…….
The little school started on Hamilton street, in this city, under her wise and conservative guidance, grew steadily from year to year, despite the fact that there wes a wealth of educational institutions in Albany, some of them enjoying afHuent endowments.
Our little ones were among the first pupils of the Convent, and during all the intervening years, our household has been represented in the convent school founded by the dear one whom we all mourn.
Her successors have followed in her careful footsteps, each one performing her duties with unflagçing zeal in the education of the children entrusted to her care, and so managing the affairs of the Convent of the Holy Names, at Albany, as to win the love of the pupils and the approval of their parents.
That the Albany branch may be one of the sturdiest links in the chain of the Hochelaga Convent, is the earnest wish of
parents who are sincerely grateful to the pains-taking Sisters who have had charge of the education of their children for the past sixteen or more years.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. and Mrs. JOHN H. FARRELL.
