Dear Mother St. John [Facemaz]
I have seen Bishop Duggan last week.
He is very willing that the property (that half that I pointed out to you) with the building be deeded to you, and that you assume one half of the amount of the loan be secured for the erection of the building. The amount of that loan is three thousand five hundred (3500) the amount you are required to accept will be seventeen hundred and fifty (1750)
The whole of this amount is secured by mortgage on the property.
The Bishop requests me to say to you that he will be home until the tenth of next July and that he will very cheerfully come to receive the Sisters at Bloomington any time they can come up to that time and in case you cannot come before that time that Dr. Dunning ... will come to receive you and that he will visit Bloomington in September
Hoping that this arrangement will be agreeable to you, and wishing to see you soon in this city, am requesting the privilege of recommending myself to a participation of the prayers of yourself and community
I remain very respectfully in Christ
