Louise of St. John the Evangelist, D.C., Sister, Baltimore, Maryland, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1883 November 8

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-d

Scope and Contents

Sister Louise, prioress, notifies McMaster that according to orders from the Carmelite Ecclesiastical Superior, Sister Teresa of Jesus McMaster, should make her will before taking her vows. The Maryland law allows a woman to make her will at 18 years of age, but she wishes to consult McMaster before taking such a step. She requests permission to make the will and also wonders if there are any known reasons why a will could not be made at this time. Sister Teresa goes into a retreat on Saturday and since it is desirable that every thing be settled by then, she asks for a prompt reply. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
