STERN
(G.B., 1890-1973, Author)
Autograph Letter Signed ‘G. B. Stern, to Catherine Dupré,
(1927-2014, Writer and Artist) saying that she has “heard from Jill that you are to be Received tomorrow. I suppose at St Augustine’s? I’m so glad... I’ve been thinking a lot about you & your husband and always put in a special prayer to St Antony asking that it should ‘work out’ all right in the end for all of you (one of the small nice things about being a Catholic is that we’re not embarrassed at talking or writing on religious topics to one another & don’t feel any need to clear our throats & stammer & look the other way! I chose St Antony because of that lovely Murillo picture behind the altar at St Augustine’s which I always stare at hard, and so, I expect do you when we’re at Mass, especially during the Offertory when I’m not attending as much as I should... I think I’ll be coming down to my sister at Langton for this coming week-end... we might be able to fix up something for Sunday... I’m thrilled (I always am) to hear that we’re now belonging to the same Church, the same faith, the same Body. Talk about good news!....” 6 sides 8vo., D1 Albany, W1, 17th March no year but circa
