Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Father Bertrand Wilberforce of the Order of Preachers
In order to avoid unnecessary repetition it has been judged expedient to omit some letters and curtail others; here and there, two letters to the same person have been inserted as one, and a few have, for convenience sake, been arranged according to subjects, irrespectively of their dates.
Wherever it was possible or permitted, proper names have been given. In letters of a personal and private nature this could not, of course, be done, and in one or two other cases Father Wilberforce's friends, no doubt from motives of humility, have desired to remain anonymous.
