TY - JOUR N2 - The author of these letters, Maria Harsdorf, informed Helena Mycielska about her impressive involvement in the activity of various Catholic women’s charity organisations, which – in her opinion – should balance the influences of the charity organisations created by Polish feminists at that time. She was careful to present several forms of activity by Catholic groups in order to avoid protectionism and over-sensibility towards persons entrusted to her care. She definitely aimed to help them restart their “independent life”. The passages of these letters are somehow similar to the thoughts of Pope John Paul II on Christian charity (cf. Novo millenio ineunte). She also publicised economic scandals in Galicia and mentioned the fact that she kept writing reviews of the works submitted to her by Jerzy Mycielski (Helena Mycielska’s cousin). She often described the everyday life in Świstelniki- Dąbrowa in Eastern Galicia as well as shared her impressions from various trips, e.g. from the expected trip to Italy.
