- Carta de edificación, 24 pages.

This is the necrological letter written by Mother Angelica Teresa, prioress of the carmel of Los Andes, after Teresa's death, according to the Carmel's custom to write a summing up of the life of the deceased nun to send it to other monasteries (in the case of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the necrological letter was the first edition of Story of a Soul).

The necrological letter is a short biographical text about Teresa's life. This edition includes nice pictures.
