Additional Description

Container Summary

1 brief ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan stating that he has not received any correspondence from Jan J. F. Wap, wishing Albert's wife returns to good health, discussing the deafness of one of Albert's children (?), and giving a general statement that Europe's future will be bright. "...c'est bon a la pauvre sourd! Mais, vous avez bien raison de dire que, s'il est prive d'entendre bien des bonnes choses, il n'entend pas non plus de mauvaises! Laissons faire au bon Dieu. "Esperons en Lui- avec pleine confiance- en toutes choses- l'horizon de notre Europe se presente et ***? bien noir. Mais avec le sursum corda- tout va bien et tout ira bien, arrive ce qui pourra. Prions seulement, et tachons d'etre toujours dans la grace de Dieu."
