She developed a deep friendship with Henry Suso, and the two remained in active correspondence. Suso considered Stagel his spiritual daughter. During their meetings, Stagel asked Suso to help her understand the pathway to God by sharing with her his own experiences. However, Suso did not know that the well-educated nun was keeping the letters he sent her and recording all that Suso told her, concerning both theological matters and his extreme practices of personal penance. When Suso learned of Stagel's undertaking, he requested the texts and proceeded to burn them, saving only the second installment of manuscripts for the sake of educating other religious.Kroll, 166.
