Montreal, October 10, 1890.
Madam,
As I am obliged to absent myself, I have only time to give the year of
the present foundation at Quebec. The first house was in the Upper
Town, established in 1688 under the direction of the venerable Mother
Bourgeois. This house was transferred to the Lower Town in 1692, under
Mons. de St. Vallière, and in 1844 the convent of the Lower Town not
being any more convenient, the sisters went and fixed themselves in St.
Roch’s under Monseigneur Signai and the Rev. Curé Mr. Charest. Rev. Mère
St. Madeleine was Superioress of the Congregation of Notre Dame.
