JEANNE E. LANSHE wrote a letter of application to Mother Therese of Jesus, Foundress of the Carmelite Nuns of Allentown in August of 1932. It reads, in part:

"I feel as though it is time to unveil my craving and fulfill the Call of God...  the sole purpose, after my entrance into Carmel will be to live for God alone - for sacrifice! To me each day is an eternity.  I do not find the world inviting or attractive - oftimes I long to hide - my desire: To be a forget-me-not planted in the heart of Jesus!"

Mother Therese of Jesus, O. Carm.

   and her "little secretary" Sister Mary Elisabeth of the Trinity (Jeanne E. Lanshe).  Clothing Day - March 9, 1933

 Sister mary Elisabeth of the Trinity wrote the book,

MOTHER THERESE AND THE CARMEL OF ALLENTOWN.
