Scope and content
File consists of two letters from the novices of the Franciscan Alcantarin nuns, Suore Francescane Alcantarine (Assisi, Italy), expressing appreciation for Nouwen's writing, especially "The Return of the Prodigal Son" and "Life of the Beloved." Letter from December 14, 1996 was included in the letter from February 7, 1996, as they did not have his proper address and that letter was returned to them. The eleven novices are inviting Nouwen to attend their first profession on May 25, 1996, as they used his books much in their studies. Letter without a date is most likely from after February 22, 1996, as they mention having received a letter from Nouwen's secretary about his sabbatical year.
