TLS signed “God bless you, M Teresa mc,” one page on the reverse of a 4.25 x 5.5 prayer slip, December 1991. Letter to an admirer in Fresno, in part: "Thank you for letting me know God's work for the poor has inspired you. Much as I appreciate your love and thoughts, I think it is more important that you do something for Jesus on your own than spend your time painting a portrait of me. More important than portraits and autographs and the like is what we do for Jesus and for Him in others—especially in our own and in those who have no one to call their own. So prepare a living Crib for Baby Jesus this Christmas by welcoming Him in all who come to you. He comes to us today in all those needing our love and compassion and let us make Baby Jesus feel warm in the Bethlehem of our hearts by welcoming Him in with love and compassion." In very fine condition, with a central horizontal fold. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a full letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services.
