I
never
mailed
the
letter
.
The
following

Montreal
,

June

,
1939
Dear
Sister
Irma
,
Did
I
,
by
chance
,
say
anything
obnoxious
or
irreverent
to
you
in
my
last
letter
that
reached
the
attention
of
Father
Zimmermann
and
caused
you
discomfort
in
some
way
?
If
this
is
the
case
,
I
beg
you
to
give
me
at
least
a
reasonable
chance
to
retract
whatever
it
was
I
may
have
unwittingly
said
in
my
ardor
to
become
friends
with
you
as
well
as
student
and
teacher
.
Is
this
asking
too
much
?
I
do
not
believe
it
is
.
The
bare
truth
is
as
follows
:
If
you
do
not
learn
a
few
more
rudiments
of
the
profession
,
you
will
only
be
a
very
,
very
interesting
artist
the
rest
of
your
life
instead
of
a
great
one
.
This
is
terrible
,
in
my
opinion
.
Do
you
realize
how
grave
the
situation
is
?
It
is
possible
that
Father
Zimmermann
made
you
resign
from
the
school
because
he
thought
it
might
interfere
with
your
being
a
competent
nun
.
If
this
is
the
case
,
I
cannot
avoid
saying
that
I
think
it
was
very
rash
of
him
in
more
ways
than
one
.
It
would
not
interfere
with
your
being
a
nun
.
I
live
like
an
evil
-
minded
monk
myself
.
The
worst
that
being
an
artist
could
do
to
you
would
be
that
it
would
make
you
slightly
unhappy
constantly
.
However
,
this
is
not
a
tragic
situation
,
in
my
opinion
.
The
happiest
day
of
my
life
was
many
years
ago
when
I
was
seventeen
.
I
was
on
my
way
for
lunch
to
meet
my
mother
,
who
was
going
out
on
the
street
for
the
first
time
after
a
long
illness
,
and
I
was
feeling
ecstatically
happy
when
suddenly
,
as
I
was
coming
in
to
the
Avenue
Victor
Hugo
,
which
is
a
street
in
Paris
,
I
bumped
into
a
chap
without
any
nose
.
I
ask
you
to
please
consider
that
factor
,
in
fact
I
beg
you
.
It
is
quite
pregnant
with
meaning
.
It
is
also
possible
that
Father
Zimmermann
caused
you
to
stop
matriculating
for
the
reason
perhaps
that
your
convent
lacks
funds
to
pay
the
tuition
.
I
frankly
hope
this
is
the
case
,
not
only
because
it
relieves
my
mind
,
but
in
a
practical
sense
.
If
this
is
indeed
the
case
,
you
have
only
to
say
the
word
and
I
will
offer
my
services
gratis
for
an
indefinite
period
of
time
.
Can
we
discuss
this
matter
further
?
May
I
ask
again
when
your
visiting
days
at
the
convent
are
?
May
I
be
free
to
plan
to
visit
you
at
the
convent
next
Saturday
afternoon
,
July
6
,
between
3
and
5
o
’
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
dependent
upon
the
schedule
of
trains
between
Montreal
and
Toronto
?
I
await
your
reply
with
great
anxiety
.
With
respect
and
admiration
,
Sincerely
yours
,
