Letter to Brother Denis
Letter 3, to Brother Denis, has a piece of black cloth sewn into the paper at the
lower left, and the words morceau de la couverture de son nouveau testament (a piece of
his New Testament cover) have been added. Perhaps Brother Denis received
the fragment of cloth as a relic after the Founder’s death and thought it best to
attach it to the letter for safekeeping.
