Janssens, Francis, Bishop of, Natchez, Mississippi, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey, 1883 January 16

The first use he makes of Seton's kind present is to write the donor. The motto may be a little too expressive; since Janssens' return he was obliged to send away three priests and he fears some will look upon those three sagittae, not as an emblem of three martyrs, but as three shot down by their bishop instead of by the Natchez. He hopes he may have the pleasure of entertaining Seton in Natchez. P.S. Janssens sent the card with the beautiful border to his mother. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
