August 8. Viterbo. Pope Alexander IV writes to the abbess and convent of St Anne of Jerusalem of the Order of St Benedict residing in Acre (Accon), relating that it was proposed before him on their behalf that because of the incursions of the Saracens they have long been exiled from their own monastery and stay in a rather restricted space in Acre (Accon), burdened by poverty. The pope grants that they are not obliged to accept any nuns or provide pensions or ecclesiastical benefices to anyone via papal letters without full and express mention of this indulgence.
