To Sister Lecrois,
June 12, 1937
; unknown present location; previously at
Manhattanville College, Purchase, N.Y.
Is very pleased by her letter. Is glad when French people find an authentic note in her
two priests
[in Death Comes for the Archbishop]. They were modeled on real figures from history whom she studied so
closely she felt she knew them. Unfortunately, her student cannot hope to publish a translation
of the book into
French, as that has already been done and by now has been published. Will have Miss Bloom enclose a copy of the short essay about the
writing of the book done for a Catholic publication [
Commonweal
].
