Africa, Here I Come?


"Letter" from Fr. Hattie received via e-mail on Saturday 21 November 2015.

As usual, below is my transcription of Fr. Hattie's latest "letter." However, due to its brevity a transcription may not be necessary.

As usual, the "letter" arrived as an attachment to an email. It arrived on Saturday November 21, 2015. In Father's previous email (of October 9th) he mentioned that he planned to seek permission to return to Africa.  By Sunday November 15th my curiosity got the best of me, so I sent a quick email to inquire the status of plans. The above letter is his reply.

For a list of other letters from Fr. Hattie that I have posted, see my Fr. Hattie page. In addition to a list of letters, there is information on how you can contact Fr Hattie yourself and/or donate to support his orphans in Nsumba, Uganda.
