Portée et contenu
First lines: "I am in profound agreement with your talks on the hermit life etc. However there is one small point"... Contents index: mostly agrees with Flavian and Dom André on eremitical life - disagrees that monks be permitted free transitus to live this life and that communities should be more restrictive in allowing transfer but more accommodating in allowing the hermit lifestyle if someone is mature enough.
