I.", [Carmel de Saint-Denis] June 4, 1780, [to Cardinal de Bernis]; 2 1/2 pages in-4. She thanks Bernis for the "precious treasure" he has sent her: "je voudrois que Mr larchevesque fut déjà icy pour voir si la relique at bien guerie car vous ne mandez pas me". She asked him to ask Cardinal Conti "for the continuation of his kindness and protection for my poor Capuchin nuns in Paris who are Saints". She fears the provincial's attitude to the vow renewal ceremony, but is reassured that "the abbess is a girl of real merit". She expresses her "great esteem and veneration" for Cardinal Conti, and her gratitude to Bernis: "Voila a présent que vous este se saisé de touttes les pierres de nôtre carmel vous intéresseez a la canonisation de la première prieure carmelitte françoise"...
