Answering mail

Is this a platform to tell a personal story?

But it's a nice story.

In the last week I wrote to four Dominicans, Flannan Hynes, Conor McDonough, Timothy Radcliffe and Bruno Cadoré. All four men replied within 24 hours and three the same day.

How nice of  them. What it means when someone makes the effort to reply to mail. The difference it makes. How it can raise the spirits.

And not one of them signed off 'fraternally'.
