TEXT
By the authority granted to me by our Very Reverend Father Provincial, by these letters I grant to the Venerable virgin Elizabeth Skeert, Superioress and Mother Abbess of the convent or residence of the Galway Poor Clares, the faculty of admitting to the habit of probation two well-born virgins inspired by God to embrace the Gospel life, but under condition that they be kept and maintained perpetually within the cloister, according to the prescription of their Rule. Given at our place of refuge on this day 30 July 1683.
