Excerpt from Quebec
At present there are sixty-three professed nuns in the establishment, and they seem quite happy. They have the entire charge of the hospital and school. In the former there are between seventy and eighty inmates, and in the latter from sixty to eighty boarders. In addition to other duties the nuns make church ornaments, from which a considerable revenue is derived. They are not allowed to go out of the establishment, but have a large garden for recreation.
