Jevons, Thomas Seton:
New Brighton, (New York)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
He would have answered (Seton)'s letter this morning but he has been at Cragdon all day. He will certainly take "pot-luck" with him and attend the Seton Circle afterwards. Cragdon has changed tremendously. There are two cheap cottages on the place besides the vicarage. Crookson wood has been cut down; the house has been disfigured by a coating of yellow paint. All around Eastchester is being opened up and $1000 or $2000 cottages built. Rex (Reginald Jevons), Ferdy (Ferdinand Talbot Roscoe Jevons) and Jevons are thinking of investing in a lot. He heard in a note from Uncle Will that Nel (?) Odell has had a stroke. Pat Jordan and Fanny are alive; she must be over a hundred. Jevons does not know the Berrymans. She was a Miss Whitney. The groom who is to marry Georgiana Berryman(?), is rather a personage in society. On Thursday Jevons dines with the Barclays and on the 23rd comes the St. George's dinner.

Herbert-Mather, Edith:
Bound Brook, New Jersey
to Monsignor (Robert) Seton:
(Jersey City, New Jersey)
Herbert-Mather has enjoyed the "Hamiltons of Olivestob"; it was good of Seton to send it. (The author) speaks of the eldest line having disappeared from the records, all of them being lost since 1695. She read it as 1685 and constructed a theory that they sailed in Pitlochie's expedition for New Jersey and were victims of fever on the way over. She was disappointed to find her theory rendered void by only 10 years difference. They hope to see Seton again this summer.

Sadlier, Anna T.:
(Montreal, Canada)
to Father (Daniel E. ) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Sadlier intended to write ever since the announcement that the Laetare Medal had been assigned to her mother (Mary Anne) Sadlier. About a year ago the conversion of two Anglicans made a stir there. One was Professor ( ) Stockly of Fredericton University; the other Rev. ( ) Alexander, of the Fredericton Cathedral. Stockly was permitted to stay on, but Alexander was thrown completely on the world. Some opening might be found for him at Notre Dame.

Sands, Louis Joseph:
Genoa, (Italy)
to Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
Seton's note of March 28 reached him in Florence, just before leaving for Genoa. Seton must remember that Sands is now a married man and has many duties. They have been traveling a good deal and on account of the weakness in his thumb, he often finds it difficult to write. He is sorry to hear that Seton is "rapidly failing" in health but Sands imagines it is not so bad as one might imagine. When Seton comes to Europe next year he must let them know that they may not pass each other en-route. The cut from the paper styled "Some Notable Changes" is very true. Sands sees trouble ahead by the excess of wealth and what it develops. The fever for intermarriage with the "fizzled out" aristocracy of Europe is degenerating the strong element. The letter Seton addressed to the Tribune interested Sands very much. The point of making one's birth alone the principal factor is becoming obsolete. They passed Holy Week at Florence, then took the train for Pisa. Sands replied to Willie (Seton)'s note; his notes are so short and jerky. Seton says his life has been a disappointment; why should it be? An American priest with a parish is certainly more important than to be among the scores of priests who have nothing to do in Europe. Sands is grateful to God for bringing him so lovely a wife, (Louisa Sands).

Ogden, Henry:
(New York, New York)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:

Ogden has received a note from Virginia Seton Hoffman, daughter of the late Ogden Hoffman, requesting him to ask (Seton) to send any book of the Setons he knows of to some place in France; Ogden cannot read the name, but care of Merten R. & C., London. (Seton) once prepared and circulated in the family a little book, "Seton of Parbroath." If Virginia had this book and a copy of the tree back to Edward III, she would be content. She says the book is really for Sallie Morris and Ella de Lassance. These ladies are daughters (of) Evretta Seton, who married Waldron (B.) Post. Evretta was a daughter of Alfred Seton who died in 1854.

Baroux received her letter of the 17th. To answer her wishes, he will send all he wrote since 1846 till 1875. He had not finished as he did not mention other missions of Montague, Pentwater, Reed City, Cadillac, etc. Mother is to do what she likes with the two volumes. He sent her a group of churches and houses he built. On the top is the church of Chittagong in Bengal. It was built when he went there. He bought the house of Cadillac and built the tower. He built two other churches for the Indians, Silver Creek or Pokagan and Brushcreek. Mother is to let Barous know if she receives all, with several photographs. (In another hand): Compliments to Sister Misericorde, (C.S.C.?).

Jevons, Thomas Seton:
New Brighton, (New York)
to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
Jevons congratulates Seton on the best speech of last night. As Dick Hutton remarked Seton was thoroughly enjoying himself. Jevons was longing to propose a toast himself; he felt, as he does not always, inclined to talk that night. It is impossible for Jevons to entertain the dream of Egypt and Jerusalem. When he comes back from England he will have to take seriously to some work. If he had the ability to write he sould be bound to no place but such is not the case. He is anxious as to the fate of his poems now undergoing the criticism of the reader at Scribners. He and Marguerite (Jevons) hope Seton will be able to see them Saturday morning but the hour of sailing is very early and St. Joseph's some distance from the Cunard dock. What can Jevons do to distinguish himself? Seton is to write a long letter and send the slip he talked about last night. Jevons will see all the papers this afternoon in hopes of getting an account of St. George's dinner.

(Corrigan)'s letter of April 5 arrived. Brandi asked Mr. Bliss if he would like the honor and he said he would and so Brandi gave (Corrigan)'s two letter to Cardinal (Camillus) Mazzella. Cardinal Mazzella had no difficulty. He encloses a copy of the document granting the favor. The expense is larger than he had anticipated, $530. This morning he went to the "Congregation of Briefs" to see to the issuing of the diploma. It will be ready before Bliss leaves Rome. P.S. Instead of a copy he is s sending the original letter of Cardinal Rampolla.

(Seton), Harry:

to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
It is some time since he has written and heard directly from Robert. He made his Easter duty on the 14th. Their spring is balmy; the wild strawberries are in flower which means fine picking for the children next month. The many papers Robert sends come regularly and Harry takes them to their priest in Coeur d'Alene who enjoys them as much as Harry does. He may get East at the end of July or early August. He is coming to have his teeth attended to. Will(iam Seton) sent him a long account of a visit he and (Thomas) Seton Jevons made to Cragdon. The dear old home is hardly recognizable. Next week begins their busy time in the army. They will use their new arms for the first time; Harry is anxious to see if they come up to expectations.
