Description
Photograph of 5 Maryknoll Sisters standing out side a building posing with 4 young children. Two babies are being held by two Sisters and two other children are standing in front of a Maryknoll Sister. One of the babies is crying. "When I picked up this baby (Alesi) she was frightened and began to cry - she is a sickly little one. Back of us is the door to Father's house. This was taken at Christmastime."
