They returned (Seton)'s book today. She does not wonder he is proud of the Setons. They did not have "Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland" at the public library but she found the lineage of the family of Scot of Scotstarvet. Through Robert, second son of Sir David Scot is descended the great Sir John whose grandson George (Scot) died on the way to America and whose daughter Euphame married Dr. John Johnstone. She also found the Drummonds of Hawthornden who are descended from the family of Perth. Sir David Scot married a daughter of Lord Somerville and Jane Stewart daughter of Alexander, Lord Darmly.

Guichainville, Metayer de:
New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Michigan
On the eve of this great day respected by Americans, Guichainville finds time to answer Brownson's last letter. The delay in writing is not because he has abandoned his dusty books to accept a political position with Carnot's ministry; not that he is not interested in helping this man out of his perplexities; but under the Republic the ministry is so ephemeral, he abandons his political ambitions in favor of his dusty books. He would like to have the occasion to dust off the shoulders of Henry Harisse. He has been unable to get a copy of the privately printed plagiary which he wrote about his autograph in which is included a photographic illustration. This he supposes came from the photographer Rockwood of New York, who was during six years photographer of the lawyer, Barlow. Rockwood had made two negatives, one large and one small. According to Barlow, the large one was supposedly destroyed and the smaller one never existed but in imagination. In reply to a postal card to Rockwood, he received the news that six large negatives have come to life, and also that he will try to locate the small negative. He is tempted to have a copyright on this document. Metayer has sent away the circulars on Brownson's books to many of his friends who are interested in History. He asks if Brownson has seen the program of the Catholic Club and the U.S. Catholic Historical Society entitled "Quadro centenial anniversary of the Discovery of America". If not he will send him one. The Catholic Club's membership is up to 1,000. The librarian's salary is still the same. He pays his respects to Brownson.
