Seton, Mgr. Robert:
Jersey City, N(ew) J(ersey)
to (James F.) Edwards:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Edwards' letter served to cheer him up. If Edwards knew how much good his visit did Seton, he might come oftener. Notre Dame and the Catholic University are the only two institutions which ever encouraged Seton. Bishop John J. Keane, too, brought him out at the Parliament of Religions. He thinks the selection for the Laetare Medal is excellent. He has heard nothing but good of Augustine Daly. Catholics are proud of (Pope Benedict XIV's) letter to the bishops of France exhorting them to more charitable dealings with the members of the theatrical profession.

They reached Rome on Saturday. Robert's note of February 16 followed them; both Louise and he appreciated Robert's manner of touching on their happiness. Yesterday they visited Archbishop (Edmund) Stonor, who has promised to get them presented to the Pope. They also called upon Baroness (Emily Mary Gabrielle) Halkett who received them with the Abbess of the order these ladies are about to establish for English ladies who visit this city desiring to become Catholics. Miss Halkett appears to be an intelligent, warmhearted girl. They have not called upon Count Moore nor upon Pania nor Cardinal Prince Ruffo. Monsignor (Denis) O'Connell has gone east and will not return until after Easter. Stonor was highly complimentary to (Seton)'s ability. (Seton) is to remember Sands to Will and his wife and the Jevons family.

He sends a photograph of his great grandfather, William Seton. His father, Benjamin Maitland, inherited the portrait from his mother Eliza Seton, daughter of William Seton and wife of James Maitland. It is said to be by Gilbert Stewart (!) There are two portraits of William Seton, the other is in possession of his cousins, the (Henry) Ogdens of New York. Maitland's father was an orphan at 5 years and was taken care of by his mother's sister, Aunt Mary Seton Hoffman of New York. His father always said he was taught that he was of noble birth and was of the Lauderdale Maitlands. Uncle Samuel Seton of New York not long before his death sent his father a copy of the family record of William Seton written by Mrs. John V. Henry. In this record Maitland's father is mentioned as the younger brother of William Maitland of the firm of Seton, Maitland and Company.

to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
(Jersey City Heights; New Jersey)
Seton is more than good to take so much trouble about Arthur Bigge. His sister (Beatrix A.) Bigge is most touched. Brougham will tell her little boy to pray for Seton; her little girl is only 7 months old. They hope they will have the pleasure of seeing Seton over again in (18)96. Her husband has passed his final examinations and has been admitted as a solicitor in partnership with Day and Russell, sons of Judge Day and Sir Charles Russell. Her husband has asked her to send the enclosed circular (no enclosure) and begs Seton to recommend him to anyone wanting English law. He has been very unlucky; on one occasion he broke his leg in five places and was laid up for 6 months, on another he was ill with typhoid. The war in Brazil has reduced their income.

She cannot find words to thank Seton for his response to Mrs. (M.C.) Brougham's letter and all the trouble he has taken in going to Blackwell's Island. Bigge's mother has had a letter from her brother Arthur (Bigge) in which he seemed penitent — Arthur had said he was going to become a Catholic, but the impulse passed away. A Methodist friend has a great deal of influence over Arthur. When he is free he wishes to go to another country. Beatrix hopes Seton will come to England in '96 and hopes he will visit her in her home in Guernsey. (P.S.) If Seton will write after he has seen her brother, she will be very grateful.

This year they hope to put on the roof. The Ave Maria published at Notre Dame, Indiana, has a large number of subscribers. Perhaps if the Ave recommended Campocavallo and The Echo would publish it in Italian and French, Sorbellini is sure the harvest would be great.

to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:

Archbishop (John) Ireland is one of the outside clerical meddlers in the affairs of this state. Ireland is one but there are others; it is just what Father (Thomas) O'Gorman would do. While they thought only of the Republican leaders, the others were busy getting pledges for Fathers (Sylvester) Malone and (Louis A.) Lambert among the country members. Anything to beat McQuaid. The defeat did not disappoint McQuaid but he was sorry for the honor of the Church. Hamilton Fish showed much feeling against Corrigan perhaps because he is a Senator from Father (James) Nilan's district. Bishop (Stephen) Ryan never does anything directly, always through others. Father (Patrick) Cronin and ( ) Mahany, editor and sub-editor of the Catholic Union and Times, engineered the campaign for Lambert in the interest of Malone. The bishop knew what was going on. Archbishop (John J.) Kain has a great deal of backbone. When Father (David) Phelan makes the row he is sure to make he may be deserted as Foley in the Kolosinski case and (Corrigan) in the McGlynn affair. McQuaid will be in New York for H(oly) Redeemer celebration on April 22. Ireland is to address a Temperance Convention on Staten Island. Corrigan should be cautious of what he says at the (Catholic) University (of America) meeting.
