Sister Louise, prioress of the Convent of Mount Carmel, thanks McMaster for the box which arrived that morning. The wine will do Sister Teresa of Jesus a lot of good in her sickness. Sister Teresa is not any better but the doctor insists that her symptoms are not serious and that she will get well. She was much consoled by the letter from her father. In regards to the Carmelite vows, all of the prelates of Baltimore Diocese, including Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick, have considered the vows as being solemn but some Theologians doubt it now. Rome has been asked to decide the point but nothing has been heard yet. The Carmelites have sufficient evidence to prove the solemnity of their vows and this is the opinion of Father F. Konings, C.SS.R., who was consulted on the matter. The Order must be patient and wait for a decision from Rome. Sister Teresa sends her regards and will write when she is stronger. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
