Thus they could continue tranquilly governing their own order in these provinces, in all of their monasteries, houses and all other property, meeting in their general chapters, without the outside influences from anyone else, nor anybody requesting their members be moved to other provinces...'' Measures 8'' x 10.75'' upon 10 pages of card-style stationery, with the first page detached. Paper is soft from age with toning and showthrough, very good condition overall.
