Note to Anon Mgr 10VII
[All]: Mar (1871, xvi) gives the following account of Mary’s response: Augustine vinr sonar mins oc minn. Friðr se þer oc þinni godfysi. En þat efni er þu girniz af mér. er hardla grætiligt oc viðrkenniligt oc hit hormuligsta. Enn með þvi at ec em nv vppnvumin af minum sæta seyni til himinrikis. þannig sem engi er hryggleikr. þa ma ec eigi grata. Enn þu skrifa með sorgfullum hvg oc tꜳrum þat er ec þolþi i sialfrar minnar hiarta ‘Augustine, friend of my son and myself. Peace be to you and your good will. But that matter which you desire from me is very lamentable and sad and most grievous. And because I have now been uplifted by my sweet son to the heavenly kingdom, where there is no anguish, I cannot weep. But you must write with a sorrowful mind and tears that which I suffered in my very heart’.
