Good Reading: letter from Fr. Thomas R. D. Byles to his Brother William Byles (in English) - II

February 13, 1912

My Dear W.

   I am not at all sure that the English form of marriage is the same as is used in America. If not it might be better to get what you want in America. Is her name Isabella Katherine? I want to have this accurate. Of course the difference between the English would only be slight - the words in England are the clauses beginning, "I N., take thee N. to my wedded (wife/husband) --

   Perhaps it is worth mentioning to you that the Cardinal has notified his intention of celebrating his elevation to the Sacred College by leading 2 pilgrimages; one to Lourdes on May 30, and one to Rome in October. Possibly you would like to take in the former. I suppose it will occupy about 8 days.


Ever yrs.
T. Rs. D. B.
