White, Father Charles I., Pikesville, Maryland, to Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, Newark, New Jersey, 1856 January 19
Scope and Contents
White has just received Bayley's letter and sends the sheets referred to. They contain Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton 's letter to Anthony Filicchi, when she sent her son, William Seton, 3 to Italy. White considers this letter one of the most admirable specimens of persuasive eloquence and true maternal affection that he has ever seen. What follows from pp. 352 to 360, consists of White's own remarks, rules of conduct given by Mother Seton to her son, and extracts from letters to him; also advice of Father Simon Gabriel Bruté to him on his quitting Bordeaux for Leghorn. All this matter was briefly condensed in the first edition. Bayley will oblige White by giving his opinion as to the propriety of inserting this matter. White thanks Bayley for additional information about the family. White has made selections of letters of Mother Seton to Mrs. Sadler which he thought of publishing together with other letters. White will confer with Bayley. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
