Imagine therefore my astonishment when a girl who had been in Alemquer came here yesterday and told me told me that a man from Alemquer, very unbelieving and one of the worst there, having gone to Fatima, came back deeply impressed, describing to everyone the extraordinary things he saw, and that he states he saw the Child Jesus and St. Joseph. — Nobody believes him, poor man, because over there nobody knows that the Holy Family really appeared. — Can Our Lady have granted that man that great grace for his [9] conversion?

José. — Ninguém o acredita, coitado, porque para lá ninguém sabe que realmente apareceu a Sagrada Familia. — Terá N. Senhora concedido a esse homem, essa grande graça para a sua [9] conversão?
