Sister Louise, prioress of the Convent of Mount Carmel, acknowledges McMaster's letter of the 23rd of March. She shall be pleased to have McMaster's daughters visit the convent on Saturday, April 1, as she desires a personal interview and requires it when permitting the entrance of a postulant. If Helen McMaster has a true vocation to the sisterhood, they will be pleased to admit her into the community, since one who has been so piously brought up and who has been surrounded by such good influences is sure too prove a worthy member. Since the order does not teach, and since their handiwork does not procure sufficient revenue, Archbishop James Gibbons requires each postulant to bring a pension of $2000. During the Novitiate, the board is paid at the rate of $150. a year. In regards to the inheritance of McMaster's daughter, the necessary dispensation will be given to meet the requirements of civil law. She recommends the vocation of the daughter and invokes the protection of St. Josphe upon her entrance into the convent. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
