Bloomington the 5th of July 1864
Dear Sr. St. John [Facemaz]
Your letter of the 30th of May is received in due time. Permit me to say that I am much pleased to know that a colony of your good Com. Are about to take charge of our institution [St. Joseph Academy]. I trust you will bless the undertaking. I shall be always willing and ready to help it in every way I can. I spoke to the Bishop last a week ago about the chaplain. I have no doubt but he will regulate that matter immediately
I think I can secure a halffare [unreadable word]for the Sisters coming to Bloomington. Please inform me how many are coming and on what day I may expect them to arrive.
The people are very anxious to see them here perminantly and expect that they will be able to compete successfully with the other institutions of learning in the city-- Begging to be remembered in your pious prayers and that of your holy community,
I remain affectionately
[Father] T. Kennedy
