    September 28 th 57 My Most Dear Father

    I feel deeply grieved that I have not had an opportunity to answer your last beautiful and sympathizing letter sooner, we are indeed true Partners in sorrow

    Beiden hebben te maken met een overlijden in de familie. Annes broer Richard Hill is gestorven op 16 september 1857 en ook Louis Dedeurwaerder, schoonbroer van Guido Gezelles vader, was net overleden.

    , but with the assistance of Almighty God, and his beloved Mother, I hope they will be turned into true Joys for they who are gone to receiving the reward of their labour the longest is, but a shortlife here, Gods Holy will be done, he knows best what is for our Good, Sorrow certainly seems to be my Portion upon Earth, for every day seems to bring fresh trouble, but he gives me strength to bear it and I should be grateful for it, especially when he has given me such good Fathers to pray for us all, My Poor dear Brother

    In haar vorige brieven refereerde Anne Gadd meermaals aan de ziekte van haar broer en diens slechter wordende conditie. Zie de brief van Anne Gadd aan Guido Gezelle van 12/08/1857; de brief van Anne Gadd aan Guido Gezelle van 24/08/1857; de brief van Anne Gadd aan Guido Gezelle van 07/09/1857; de brief van Anne Gadd aan Guido Gezelle van 13/09/1857; en de brief van Anne Gadd aan George William Gadd van 13/09/1857.

     has indeed gone to recieve the reward of his labours, for which he worked so very hard, He Died on the 16 of september the Ed y i fying Death of a Saint, I was with him the two lastNights and one Day quite alone, he wished that I should do so and I complyed with his request, He suffered and I encouraged him, He prayed and I joined him, and begged of Almighty God to release him from his Pains if it were his Blessed Will, and that his Purgatory might be here if he only willed it, for he suffered much, but oh” - what a heartrending scene for a Loved Sister to see him suffer so much, in the Midst of his sufferings he exclaimed Oh” - My poor Sister, My Dear Sister Anne,but why should I Harrow your delicate fee l ings with such a scene, Nothing but your great kindness and loving letters would induce me to write thus, Well my Dear Father I hope soon to have the great felicity of conversing Person l a ly with you, I hope soon to be at the College with my little Nephew, the only Son of my poor Dear Brother, I hope soon with the Blessing of God to see my own fond Child George and to thank youPersonally for your Fathery

     Care, but h ow can I do thus sufficiently, well the earnest Prayer of a loved Mother must make up the deficientcy

    Foutief voor ’deficiency’.

    , but let us turn to some more favourable topic, Dear Mr Cromlone was Ordained yesterday at St Johns Cathedral Salford, he came up to tea on Saturday to invite us to his Ordinations, but I am sorry to say that we were not at all fit to go to see him, we gave him the benefit of our poor Prayers during Mass, that wasall we could do, we expect him up tomorrow please God to give us his Blessing with the Indulgence, The other day I had a long conversation with Father Le Clerk, Respecting you & the College, I absolutely love him, as a son, now that he knows where we live, he will visit us frequently, our House is a perfect Conference sometimes, we have sometimes twenty and even more occasionaly meetings together at times,if you could only make one of them, how happy should we feel, but no God has willed it otherwise, that you should be the Guardian and Confessor of my fond and I hope deserving Child, well I shall soon place another under your Holy Protection the Child of a beloved Brother, Many Many thanks for your kindness to George William in your excursion to France, I will write you again before I leave England for Belgium so that you may know when I shall arrive there, I do not speak the French language therefore I shall be at a loss rather until I arrive atthe College, but God will help me through I have no doubt,

    Give My most affectionate Love to Dear Father Bethune, and kindest Reminiscences to Mr Harford, a Motherly love to my sweet Child, and a Dutiful and Grateful Heart to my Dear Father Geyzzelle, your affectionate Child Anne Gadd
