Letter 1606. To Mother Héléne Angélique Lhuillier

(Turin] 12 January, 1639. Vive > Jésus |

My very dear Daughter,—Oh! but I am pleased with you for telling me that the account given you of N.’s complaints about your foundation! may have been exaggerated, for I know you are quite sincere in saying so. That is the way to act in regard to our sisters—always to excuse them and not to give credence to everything that is said against them, for things magnify by repetition. Now if you can, without implicating those who repeated it to you, tell N. what was said and ask her if it is true: for I think they would acknowledge the truth to you. [The rest 1s tllegible.]
