LETTER TO ST. THERESE OF LISEUX 7 August 2015 by Foutoux (draft)

Chez Jardin Colombier                        Overcaste Some blue skie  Friday 7th August 2015.


Sweet Mother

The mornings are wonder and the nights are lonely and long.   ......

Autumn eats Summer day by day leaving long shadows everywhere....my continued trust in
Le Seigneur - this has not changed and St. Augustus looks after me.  "Confessions" by my bedside.

Today I have l.60 euros to spend - on this coffee - provisions are all in.  I will paint and write this pm

Please thank the Sweet Child for the courteous letter I received from my brother explaining the
inheritence....after six months, I have received the peace of forgiveness for being turned out of my mother's house just days after her death.   How can this be that after such distress I find joy in the smallness tasks.

Your child


Lys.
