After his return he hopes to begin work at the British Museum. There are 150 subscribers; Lord (William) Eglinton's is conspicuous by its absence. The Mary Seton necklace was purchased for 350 pounds by Sir. A. Bothwick. Monsignor Campbell has not replied about the place of Lord (George) Winton's grave in Rome, nor has he heard from Reims about a later Testament of Mary Seton's on record. He thanks (Seton) for the seal impression and the new edition of Edythe Seton's Memoir. Seton's daughter keeps up her music. He will have to begin his book with Dougall. He concurs in Seton's estimate of "G.E.C." The article in the "Quarterly" amused him. Did (Seton) ever read his "Pedigrees and Peerages"? (Seton) may rest assured that the Cairn will be duly preserved by Archbishop (Augus) McDonald. Seton hopes to run down to see Mrs. (Catherine Seton) Coventry. He thanks (Seton) for the photographs.

Onahan gets ribbons from Rome for his labors at the Catholic Council. As far as Lamer could see Edwards did the work while Onahan gets the ribbons.

Guichainville, Metayer:
New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
The reason for his silence is not that he has joined the army of Coxey. He has declined going to Washington and is awaiting another occasion. He was visited by Mr. Hodge, librarian of the department of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institute who spent an afternoon examining documents pertaining to Indian missions in South America which have been evaluated at $1600. However, the documents are considered of greater historical than ethnological value. He referred these documents to the republic of Columbia, but found that the government was financially unable to make such purchases. Guichainville has a painting in his home of the first mass said in the New World by the Franciscans in the presence of Columbus and his following which he considers ideal material for a postage stamp in a Catholic country. The Franciscans of New York have sent one of their members to see about this painting. He relates an incident concerning the wealthy M. Jourdain of the Revue (France), a collector of old manuscripts, who visited him while he was yet in Paris.
