Brent, Emily C., Washington, D.C., to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1886 January 21

She is very grateful for the gifts Edwards sent her. If it were not for the distance and the cold, she would be tempted to visit the convent attached to Notre Dame. Her life is very lonesome; her two nephews are away from home all day. She intends to room with a widow lady; it will be nearer to St. Peter's where her father was one of the first to take a pew. The Carrolls of Duddington are only remotely related to the Archbishop. :: XI-1-d A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
