Manuscript letter written by Nano Nagle, to Miss Fitzsimons, on 28 September 1770. The letter, written in Cork, was sent to Miss Fitzsimons at the Ursuline Convent, Paris. Miss Fitzsimons was at this time preparing to become a professed Ursuline nun; she would later go to Cork to help Nagle to establish a convent and a school for girls. Nagle advises Fitzsimons that the newly-built convent is almost ready, but reminds her that the nuns must be unobtrusive, because in penal Ireland Catholics cannot do exactly as they please. This is the seventh letter of the suviving seventeen letters by Nagle, and is known as Letter 7. The manuscript was gifted by the Urusline Sisters, Ireland, to the Presentation Sisters Congregation Archive, Cork, in 2018, on the occasion of the tercentenary of the birth of Nano Nagle.
