Boyle, Robert E.:
(London, England
to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
(Jersey City, New Jersey
Boyle had never heard of the old pedigree Seton mentions. It is satisfactory to find so much authority for the belief Boyle had arrived at as to the parentage of Margaret Seton Scrymgeour. Perhaps George Seton can show Boyle the paper Seton mentions; Boyle will look for it at the British Museum. Boyle thanks Mr. Faton for his kind suggestion.

to (Monsignor Robert Seton:

Schroeder has Seton's note of the 31st and also the photographs. Schroeder and Captain (Winfield Scott) Schley made a cruise together in China some twenty years ago and he knew Schley's daughter slightly. He presumes that Mrs. Potter, the stepmother of Bishop (Henry Codman) Potter is connected with the Seton family, as she was Fanny Seton. She was Mrs. Schroeder's godmother. Mrs. Schroeder's mother, Mrs. Wainwright, had two intimate friends, Miss Seaton who became the mother-in-law of her daughter, and Miss Seton, her godmother.

to (Monsignor Robert Seton:

He thanks (Seton) for his notes and the photographs of himself, a letter from Dr. Foley and two letters from Henry D. Winton; also an engraving of Colonel W(illiam Winston?) Seaton. When they get to Scotland next month he hopes to send (Seton) some family photographs. He, too, has some doubts as to the identity of Father Alex(ande)r Seton and the Chancellor. The alleged marriage of the 5th Earl of Winton to Margaret Mc(?) Klear was proved to be a myth when Geo(rge) Seton of Bellingham claimed the Winton title about 70 years ago. The sword supporting a crown in the middle of the three crescents was the coat of Barns. Mrs. (Catharine Seton) Coventry has both seals and bookplates. He has found some more matter relative to Mary Seton. His son and daughter send regards.

Edwards' criticism is right. The photographer is not a master of his art. Seton does not like to be perpetuated in secular habit. He wants Edwards to stay with him when he comes to New York.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Dorsey thanks Hudson for his compliance with her request about Lee (Mohun) - Sister Stephanie. A Dominican who preached at St. Matthew's, when he learned that Sister Stephanie was Clare Mohun's daughter, said the accident was terrible. Now part of her hand is to be amputated. Years ago in Baltimore Dorsey read an English life of St. Therese loaned by the Carmelites of the first foundation made by the order in this country. She was intimate with them and her husband attended to all their outside affairs. The first foundation was made in Charles County, Maryland, but the Archbishop of Baltimore advised them to remove to Baltimore. They established their convent on Asquith Street. It was there that Sister Isabella escaped one Sunday and ran into the midst of the outcoming congregation of the Presbyterian Church presided over by (John) Breckenridge who was having the controversy with Archbishop John (Joseph) Hughes. The nun, who inherited her insanity, was a Miss ( ) Dent; she was placed in the Maryland Hospital.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
"Short Cut" in its present getting up is a cheap book. But a less elegant edition would take better on missions. Some priests have complained that they cannot get the same reduction on the book as they are allowed by the men they deal with on other works. Hill's home is now at the Retreat of St. Paul. He has made an attempt at a prose contribution for the Ave Maria in the "Sin of Unbelief". He hears that Father Fidelis (Stone, C.P.) is to give retreats at Notre Dame.

(Seton)'s note of the 15th reached them here from Meran where they spent 10 days of rest after travelling in Italy during the winter. Louisa (Sands) enjoys the scenery and they will spend some weeks here before attacking Switzerland. (Sands) is glad (Seton) sees Louisa's qualities through her letters; he has drawn a prize and knows it. (Sands)' niece, Edith (Rhinelander) has made a good match in marrying. (Sands) is surprised by (Seton)'s saying that Daisy Jevons has had four offers; some of these quiet creatures run deeper than one supposes. Is the young Kane a son of De Lancy (?) Kane whose wife is a Miss Islin? (Sands) believes the true foundation of a happy married life is the Catholic Faith (but) he is bound to acknowledge the early discipline of his wife's Episcopalian mother. (Seton) says that Will(iam Seton) and his wife hope to meet them in Europe; Will has not written of his arrival. Lizzie (Elizabeth Seton) has had some correspondence with Louisa who thinks her a noble girl. (Sands) wants (Seton) to send him a drawing of his crest-motto. (A sketch of a crest is in this letter.) From here they go further into the Tyrol; they are not yet on their way home. If they are in Paris at the proper season they will call on Madame (Helen Bailly) de Barberey. On the 27th he and Louisa kept the six months' anniversary of their wedding by renewing their vows. He would not change her for any other woman he knows.
