It is very pleasant to be remembered by men like those among whom (Seton) ranks. It is a profitable thing to know people outside one's own circle.

(Seton), Harry:
Balt(imore), M(arylan)d
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
Robert can will imagine why Harry has so long delayed answering. Willie (William Seton) and Harry met the party at the Union depot Tuesday evening. Elise (Elizabeth Seton) came with them; the Parrishes, Will, and Dr. (Tom) Lee going to the hotel. Annie (Foster Seton) has gone to Emmitsburg the day before to make arrangements for the hearse and carriage. They were met at the Mountain Church by Dr. Allen, Fathers McSweeney and Manley. The graduates of 1896 carried the coffin to the grave. William bore it all so nobly. Sally's (Sarah Redwood Parrish Seton) last word to him will make the happy past not quite so hard to think on. Harry returned Thursday with Will and yesterday Will and Elise left for New York. Will is a grand Christian gentleman in all the phases of life. Harry met the Cardinal (James Gibbons) in Charles Street last Monday and introduced himself to him. He had met him at Mt. St. Mary's commencement in 1889. If Harry does not see Robert before he leaves, Robert is to take his good wishes with him in his rambles. If Robert sees Will, he is to give him a receipt for Harry's valise. Will is going to try and recover damages should the express company much longer defer coming to terms. It will serve to divert Will's mind. (Seton adds on the letter): Writes of death and burial of Mrs. W(illia)m Seton, née Sarah Redwood Parish of Philadelphia, a convert.

The human faculty is very strong in Seton as it is in Eaton. Rooms will be found at the lower side of Madison Square Garden. Eaton does not know exactly about Mrs. John X. Van Rensselaer but he will ask Mrs. O'Brien. Eaton will be only too glad to come over one evening before Seton goes. And he asks the privilege of bringing with him a good friend from the South, Hugh C. Lyle, a Catholic. (Seton writes on this letter): Mrs. Van R's name is not in the Social Register for 1894 and he can find out nothing about her from his friends.

Uncle Will(iam Seton) arrived from Baltimore Friday. They are all so sorry for him; he seems to have bad luck and deserves such a big share of the reverse. (Jevons) was sorry not to see (Seton) after the funeral. He read through (Seton)'s rhapsody which he encloses (no enclosure). The poetic description of death is excellent. Aunt Sally (Sarah Redwood Parish Seton) died within a week of Jevons' reading it. Does (Seton) still keep to his plans for travel? (Jevons) is working very hard at McIntyre and Wardwell's. The firm is a noted one doing an enormous amount of business. He works from 8:30 -7. What a revolting disturbance over the M-V wedding. This and Tammany's victory in the city make (Jevons) long for England. Rex(Reginald Jevons), Ferdy(Ferdinand Talbot Roscoe Jevons), and (Jevons) spent a night at Cragdon not long ago; it was delicious.

He expects to be promoted in 8 months. Everyone is worked hard but they learn a great deal. He cannot accept (Seton)'s invitation to dinner with (Reverend Arthur Wentworth Hamilton) Eaton and (Hugh C.) Lyle. He is afraid he must "knock under" to business till (Seton) returns from his travels. J(evons) wants to see Uncle Will(iam Seton) but will have to wait.

But Papi has written Burke that they would leave Albany on the 19th at 3:10; they will arrive in New York at 6:30, where they will meet Seton.

And although some of the names not only lack dignity but appear childish Snyder has not thought the matter of sufficient importance to change their practice. Snyder will be very glad to have (Seton) call at any time. (P.S.)

Father Heuser is pleased with Brownson's volume on "Faith and Science," and hopes its will be read and appreciated and pondered over by all Catholic educators. He hopes to have a notice of it on the January number (of the American Ecclesiastical Review) by Father (Francis P.) Siegfried, a philosopher who shares with him the deep reverence for the old truth and the old principles by which it is rightly inculoated, as Brownson advocates in his book. Since Brownson speaks of continuing the work by a successive review of the doctrines and mysteries of faith, Father Heuser would be glad to have an occasional article on these subjects treated in short chapters with captious headings, the only way to make men read and think in their day.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D. C.
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Richards was sorry not to see Brownson's article on woman worship in the October number of the American Catholic Quarterly Review; and probably Brownson was right in suggesting that the Editor did not think the subject exactly suited to that dignified and weighty, not to say heavy, quarterly, and perhaps the conductors thought it prudent not to stem the rising tide in favor of woman's advancement. He hopes Brownson will soon get out his articles on Faith and Science. He encloses a notice, to be returned, by Walter Lecky of his book, which says a good word for (Orestes A. Brownson). Dr. A. J. Faust brought Lecky, whose real name is Father H(enry) G. Ganss, rector of St. Patrick's Church, Carlisle, Pa., and also Brother Fabrician, F.S.C., of St. John's College, to spend a delightful evening with Richards, who found Father Ganss a cultivated, witty, and eloquent Irishman. Richards believes that the best remedy for the annual loss of boys from the Church in America would be to have the Mass said or sung in English, abolishing all operatic performances in the Choir and confining all the music to responses, making it a part of the grand function and never allowing any music when the priest is saying any portion of the Mass in a low tone. For it a strange thing to find so few who know anything about the Preface for Trinity Sunday— a composition which can scarcely be surpassed in any language. The movement in favor of Eucharistic teachings and devotions is very encouraging; but the progress would be much more rapid if the priests would take the pains to teach the meaning of the office of the Mass to both old and young in an interesting way. Richards' address is either Chevy Chase, Md., or Secretary's Office, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C.

The Arrow shows the old arrogant and indolent manner of most ritualistic periodicals. What a pity that there are priests still to be found with "liberalistic" views. Hill hopes that opinions of this kind may precipitate a definition as to the extent of papal infallibility. He will send the Arrow to the office of the (Sacred Heart) Messenger in New York with a note to Father (Henry) Van Rensalaer. The revival of devotion to the Blessed Virgin is the most hopeful sign for England's return to the faith. Hill leaves next Monday for Portland, Maine. He hopes to be with Father Fidelis (Stone, C.P.) in New York by Wednesday evening. Hill's address there will: Care of Father John J. Kean, 25 Oliver Street, New York.

Richards, W(illia)m:
Washington, D. C.
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's letter of the 22nd arrived Monday, and the book arrived Saturday morning. Richards and his family left Rhode Island Avenue a year ago last July, and now have a pleasant house in Chevy Chase. He was pleased to get Brownson's book on Faith and Science and has already referred to the references to (Orestes A. Brownson); he is glad that Brownson stands by his father's lucid exposition of "ens creat existentias." It is too bad that, as Brownson explains, there are no italics; and Richards hopes the book will have a good sale. Benziger has sold about 500 copies of Richards' book and they do not expect to sell any more; they say that non-Catholic booksellers will not touch the book. Richards is suprised that Archbishop (Patrick John) Ryan would allow Brownson's letters to be treated as they were: he must have a stupid subordinate. As to education in the Middle Ages, whatever it came to be after the 15th century, there must have been something remarkable in the education of the people which enabled them to work out such grand ideals in such grand ways, as in architecture, music, social and political institutions. It is singular how all ceased to be developed and began to degenerate in the 15th century; and Richards asks whether they can pick up the lost threads and go on to still higher achievements, and whether the ideals cannot be restored by devotion to the Blessed Eucharist.

Morrison, George Austin, Jr.:
New York, New York
to Monsignor (Robert Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
Confidential. (Seton)'s favor of the 21st was received. (Seton) had been placed among the Ex-Presidents, Table C.21, but Morrison has now managed the seat on the platform. He suggests that (Seton) wear his order of the Lateran Court, as almost all the guests at the Platform Table wear decorations. A Seton always holds a high place in the hearts of his fellow Scotsmen. Morrison writes as secretary of St. Andrew's Society of New York.

Lee, James P.:
New York, (New York)
to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
(Jersey City, New Jersey)
Lee acknowledges Seton's letter and its enclosure. He telegraphed last Saturday that they would dine with Seton on the second. He finds now that his brother (Dr. Thomas Lee?) cannot leave his hospital for two weeks at least and so is obliged to decline Seton's invitation. Lee and Uncle William will come; Lee is sorry Tom finds it impossible. In regard to Seton's will there is one point: In leaving his estate to (Thomas) Seton (Jevons), should he die before (Robert) the estate would be divided between (Robert)'s brothers and sisters. If he wishes the property divided amongst (Jevons') children, if he leave any, or go to some one else it is necessary so to state it in the will. If (Seton) will let Lee hear from him, Lee will send a draft of the will. He can then bring the original over on the second, when (Seton) can sign it. P.S. Lee encloses (Seton)'s memorandum in case he wishes to refer to it. (Letter written on stationery of) L.L. Parrish and F.K. Pendleton, Attorneys.

to (James F.) Edwards:

It was kind of Edwards to send him his photograph. He did not answer Edwards' letter sooner because of trouble with his ear. He has been growing deaf, the result of breaking his nose in his freshman year. His mother was delighted with the photographs Edwards enclosed. He envies Edward's pleasant trip home on the Lucania. They had a disagreeable time of it.

The poem was sent to him by Father (Robert) Butler of St. Charles College, London. Zardetti encloses his card with his address.
