Copies in French the letter of Abbot of Bellfontaine of March 1 relating what happened in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Gardes, on the 27th of February. Would like to have the story published and asks Father Hudson for advice. Three women wrote to Bishop Peter J. Lavialle that they wished to form a new order of nuns under the name of Sisters of Our Lady of La Trappe of Mount Olivet. They wish to serve under the Bishop of Louisville, Kentucky. Their object is to relieve the burdens of the Abbey and afford an opportunity for the women to serve such a noble cause. Nuns of another order serving this new order will be under the jurisdiction of the 3rd order of St. Francis. Bishop Lavialle approved the plan in 1866. In 27 Nov. 1870 the Sister spoke to the Right Rev. Bruno, Abbot of Mt. Melleray, Ireland of their intentions of becoming Trappistines. The General Chapter accepted their petition, but the Bishop threw it out. Rome is investigating the case now. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
