Seton, Archbishop Rober t, Rome, Italy to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1907 January 28
Scope and Contents
He received a letter from his cousin, Miss Cornelia Prime, telling all about his sister Elizabeth's Seton death and burial. She asks him whether she should destroy or return to him his letters to his sister. He told her by mail that he wanted them to go to Edwards and that he would put Edwards in touch with her. He gives her address; she is a Protestant. His sister's executor is James P. Lee, a nephew to his brother William's Seton wife. He advises Edwards to write to Lee and ask to have Seton's letters sent to him by Seton's orders. Elizabeth was buried in the habit of a Tertieary of St. Francis. He would like to see her religious souvenirs in the hands of Miss Jevons. She provided in her will that her niece, Marguerite Jevons, would receive her jewelry and family momentos and her goddaughter, Elizabeth A. O'Donoghue, all her books, pictures and household effects. O'Donoghue's mother is a sister of Father W.C. Poole of Staten Island. It seems incredible that a letter from Cardinal James Gibbons in Seton's behalf would have no effect. :: XI-2-j A.L.S. 4pp.
