Letter (number unidentified). To Don Diego de Guzman y Cepeda, Toledo, the end of 1576

Condolence on the death of his little daughter. On renting a house,

JESUS ! May the grace of the Holy Spirit be with you.

It seems to me that our Lord wished to take the little angel to heaven with her mother. May He he praised for all things ! From what people said, her health must have been delicate. God has already shewn us the great favour He is now showing you by giving us many in heaven to help us in the trials of this life. May His Majesty preserve Doña Catalina' and have you in His keeping ! Amen.

Your unworthy servant, Teresa de Jesus.
