Dear Edward: - Am very busy. I will be ordained priest Dec. 17 and will say my 1st mass Dec. 18th. I wish you were here. Right after ordinations I will write you a long letter in answer to your beautiful letter. I will also send you an ordination card. Please excuse me for this time. Yours in +
John
Mr. Goerke was here and we had a talk about good times at Clifton.
