 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

Poirier sends this letter by Mrs. Wendel to ask Lefevere what to do for three young ladies who wish to join the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Monroe. They are Marie Martin, Marie Laferte, Cornelia Godfroid, daughter of Richard . Sister Marie is her cousin and Sister Alphonsine is her aunt. Considering the needs of the community Poirier favors the admission of all three to the retreat for the taking of the religious habit. Cornelia is, like Sister Marie and Sister Alphonsine, from town and is known as an excellent character. Sister Aloysius, a German novice, is not well and should go to a hospital; being a novice she can do her own will. He refers to his last letter of Saturday as regards Mass intentions and explains his method of distribution. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to. 11
