Although it is your general responsibility to care for all the sisters, we thank you for the special acceptance under your edification of sisters V.M.M., A. and E.N.; They, having tasted and experienced this path, see how disastrous it is to follow an unauthorized path; and God will instruct you in what and when to say for someone’s benefit. Regarding our circumstances, they are still unstable; that the priest was transferred to another cell does not mean anything: it is even more peaceful for him - he got rid of the extra visitors; but the scattered empty rumors cause trouble for those well disposed towards him. Those who are disposed towards the priest and those grieving for him can say as a consolation that he is now completely calm: empty rumors do not bother him at all. We have the honor to congratulate you on the upcoming highly solemn holiday of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ; May the Lord grant you to meet it and celebrate with heartfelt joy, in mental and physical health.
And entrusting you and all your sisters to the protection of God, and asking for you the peace and blessing of God, we entrust ourselves to your holy prayers, and abide your unworthy pilgrims, the many sinners I. L. and I. M. December 17, 1840.
