The Marchioness of Villa Vieja as president, the Countess Miravalle as treasurer, and the Marchioness of Guizamonde as secretary make an appeal in the name of their Asociacion de Senoras para Socorro de las Re ligiosas for financial aid to rebuild the church of the Convent of St. Clara in Tenerife which was destroyed by fire. The damage amounts to 18,000 duros. Appeals have been without results. Despoiled of aid for many years the sisters are very poor. They have appealed to this association founded to collect funds for the sick, old, and poorest of nuns. Miravalle adds a note signed in her hand: They would never bother the bishop if the benefices of the Spanish clergy were paid but since they refuse to take the oath of the Constitution they are reduced to poverty. :: I-1-c Printed circular L.S.
