[1] Gracián's mother (see Ltr. 358.5).

[2] Gracián's sister, who was a Carmelite in Valladolid.

[3] Her nephew Francisco de Cepeda, who suddenly left the novitiate in Pastrana without having received the habit.

[4] The desire to become a discalced Carmelite.

[5] Nicolás Doria, prior of Pastrana, was somewhat abrupt in saying goodbye.

[6] The chapel that in accord with Lorenzo's will was to be built for St. Joseph's Carmel in Avila.

[7] Angel de Salazar.

[8] See Ltr. 358.3.

[9] The newly elected general was Giovanni Battista Caffardo. For the acts of the chapter (May 1580) pertaining to the discalced Carmelites, which to put it mildly were unflattering, see MHCT 2:189-191.

[10] The Dominican Pedro Fernández died two days later on 22 November. See Ltr. 358.4.

[11] The secretary was Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew; Inés de Jesús (Tapia) was to accompany Teresa to make the foundation in Pastrana.

[12] Licentiate Godoy.

[13] It was on the feast of the Presentation of Our Lady in the Temple that Gracián presented the papers to the Carmelites in Seville that authorized him to make an official visitation. This created such an uproar that Teresa feared for his life.

[14] She had dictated what preceded (nos. 1-4) and now, in nos. 5-6, writes in her own hand, and then again probably in no. 9.

[15] Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew, Teresa's secretary. She will sign her name in no. 8.

[16] Casilda de Padilla (see F. 10-11).

[17] Gracián's former secretary (see Ltr. 358.2).
