Identifier: CMMA I-2-f

Scope and Contents

At the request of the Most Reverend Archbishop James Gibbons, of Baltimore, Mother Beatrice has written Bishop Thomas A. Becker of Wilmington, Delaware asking him to come and preach on Jan. 21. When she received McMaster's letter, she notified the Archbishop of Bishop Becker's previous appointment. He changed the date of the Profession to January 27, so she has notified Bishop again by telegram. She will let him know as soon as she received an answer. She thanks him for proposing to settle the matter for them, but they wanted it settled very quickly, in order to make preparations for the retreat. She is sending him a type-written sheet. Their vows are made to the Archbishop of Baltimore - but on the sheet the last word is left out, because they want to use the form in other convents for the same purpose. For the same reason the names of Sisters are not filled in. :: I-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
