Jevons, T(homas) S(eton):
New Brighton, (New York)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City Heights, New Jersey)
Who can be the usurper who assumes the name of Seton? Marguerite (Jevons) has determined to keep out of society entirely as it is hardly possible to go out anywhere without meeting cads of the lowest degree. According to Aunt Eliz(abeth Seton), Uncle Will(iam) Seton is due on Sunday. Jevons succeeded in getting into the Lenow trial room. Down with Tammany! Morton, Strong, Goff-majority.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
McQuaid was sick, but is now well again. He incorporated the Diocese of Rochester under a general law of the state. Anybody will easily find the law in the Revised Statutes of New York. Bishop (Thomas M.) Burke has just incorporated his Cathedral. McQuaid doubts its wisdom. Archbishop (John) Ireland still hangs around New York, apparently in the interests of the Republican Party. Did Ireland occupy a seat on the platform of the Republican ratification meeting in New York? McQuaid has written to Msgr. (Francis) Satolli reviewing the article in the World of September 25, but touching on other things.

to (J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Archbishop (Patrick John) Ryan of Philadelphia requested Edwards to give her some information concerning Thomas Fitzsimmons, a framer of the Constitution, and James Smith, one of the signers of the Declaration. She has heard nothing from Edwards. For genealogical purposes she is anxious to trace the relationship between the two men. There should be a record of her grandfather John Fitzsimmons in the Catholic Church in Newton Stewart.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
McQuaid encloses a slip (no enclosure) showing where he found the law incorporating the diocese of Rochester. The limit of $25,000 net annual income need not frighten them. The Democrats have gone under overwhelmingly, and the fate of the amendments is likely to follow the party. The cause of Ireland and Father (Sylvester) Malone helped. The Republicans had no idea how great their victory was to be. Archbishop (John) Ireland has no sense of the propriety of things. Unfortunately, he has with him the Delegate, the Cardinal and others, including many Catholic newspapers. Bishops (Thomas M.) Burke, (Patrick A.) Ludden and (Henry) Gabriels meet at Utica next Sunday, but McQuaid cannot be there. They are not interested in the Archbishop's annual meetings outside the question of secret societies. The Eucharistic Congress at the (Catholic) University (of America) is a scheme to bolster up the University. McQuaid does not believe in Congresses (of Religions). He is glad to hear that Father Connally is on the mend.

Robert's letter of October 29 came day before yesterday. Harry was sorry to see in the N.Y. Sun that his friend General (Eliakim Parker Scammon) was ill and not expected to live. He was kind to Harry when he served on his staff. Harry often thinks he regrets having gone into the army. If he remains until he is 64 he will have served 38 years. John (Foster Seton) is now in Baltimore. Harry is sorry Robert's duties prevented him from being present at the Camp Fire of Garfield Post G.A.R. Their exiles are de retour and he hopes none the worse for their ocean trip.

Brother Ephrem and he kept continually battling to have religion taught more thoroughly in the novitiate and in the schools. Brother Ignatius once remarked that Brothers have no right to give religious instruction. Brother thinks they may blame the neglect of teaching religion for the small number of postulants that enter their novitiate (Brothers of Holy Cross).

(Notre Dame, Indiana
Stoddard Just received a letter from Robert Buchanan. He proposes to review "Lazy Letters" in London. If the "Lepers" and the brief paper written after the death of Father Damien could be added, the volume would possess more value than the miserable American edition.

Jevons, Thomas Seton:
(N(ew) Y(ork), New York)
to (Monsignor Robert Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
He and Rex (Reginald Seton?) have a room in a house next to the Ogdens where they sometimes take dinner and breakfast. Their table was once noted but is now enough to poison a cad. They have discovered a cheap but excellent restaurant. Friday he goes to his first cotillion at Sherry's after dining at Dr. John Jay's. Their house is opposite Father (Thomas J.) Ducey's church and Jevons will go to hear him preach. He wonders what will be the outcome of his row with (Archbishop Michael Augustine) Corrigan. Mrs. Carrol Lee thinks Ducey was a little too explosive. Sunday he and Rex went up to Cragdon; he thinks the Schiefflins (Judge Schief lin) are going to sell some of their land. According to Uncle Will, Dr. Richard Bayley was buried near Quarantine; Jevons made a search but failed to trace him. It must be at Port Richmond as (Seton) said. He believes Jack (John Foster Seton) is at Huntington; he hopes they will see him up here. Jevons has almost resolved to give up business and study law.

Delaney, Richard E.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
to Isabella (Shea) Shae:
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
Her favor without date, answering his of November 15, is at hand. Professor (James F.) Edwards suggested trying to sell the "Histories" in Chicago since the late Dr. Shae's friend, William Onahan, lives there. When Delaney leaves Notre Dame in May, he will not be able to advance her the money for the shipment of the goods. If she will write to Edwards for a character reference of Delaney she will be able to judge if it is safe to delay payment until after shipment. He is surprised to learn that Mrs. Shae thinks of selling the copyrights. They are so valuable that no publishing house could afford the price; he hopes she will persevere with the house that has published them. Delaney has written to Onahan.
