[Life of Father Hecker by Walter Elliott]@TWC D-Link bookLife of Father Hecker CHAPTER XXI 28/28
Remember me to all my friends. "Your brother, ISAAC. "St.Trond, October 15, 1846. "I have forgotten to say that if you have not already made use of the things that I left, such as clothing, you should do so." In bidding adieu to the novitiate we think Father Hecker's last meeting with his old novice-master, as we find it recorded in the memoranda, will be of interest: "Pere Othmann was one of my best friends.
Shortly before he died I happened to be in France (this was after leaving the Redemptorists), and I heard that he was extremely ill at the Redemptorist house at Nancy. I wrote to him that if he wished I would call and see him.
He answered me at once, begging me to come immediately, as he desired above all things to see me before he died.
So I made a journey to Nancy, and we had some hours of pleasant conference together, and I bade him farewell." ________________________.
