Mesdames
It is with a great deal of pleasure that I learn of your good resolution to become reconciled with your unhappy brother. I do not doubt that you had strong cause to be angry with him up to this time. But we who all so much need God's pity must also have pity on his children, even though they are sinners. Do you know my dear friends anyone who has never sinned?
I rejoice at your change of mind toward him and I could not keep myself from telling you so. Pardon my liberty and the style of this letter, For I am not accustomed to writingF rench, but my religious office forced me to write to you.
Dare I remind you that your brother has a large family and that he is poor. No, I have said enough.
Your old friend,
S. Morais
Mrs Lopez Silva and Miss Pereyra
