ABBEY OF GETHSEMANI

TRAPPI ST. KE NTUCKY
June 7, 1963

Dear Victor and Carolyn:

Thanks for your note, and I am especially grateful for Victor's Trannistic ex-
aloit as my secret agent. I shall look forward to seeing you next Saturday, the 16th
or rather the 15th, and am happy that because of the august doctoral hood, you will
be coming sooner than you otherwise would. i hope it will be a nice day. I have just
had five superb days of retreat up at the hermitage, and they have been invaluable for
me. I hope the joy and peace have not worn off by next Saturday. Thanks again, and
I will be expecting you Saturday. But then it will be about 12.15 as I have a
class that day. If you come Friday, you can come earlier, say about ll. 0n that day
I have no class. Thursday of this week, the I3th, is a Feast Day and I would not be
free. Tell me at once if you are coming Friday and remember that this affects my
diet. All the best, always

Ever yours in Christ, with all blessings,
