Becker, Bishop Thomas A., Savannah, Georgia, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey, 1887 February 4

Becker thanks Seton for his kind recollection of their pleasant talk. In the choice Becker made of No.3 Coat of Arms the national rather that hierarchical character was held in view. It may or may not be substituted for the one held by the first Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick, afterwards of Baltimore. Becker regrets reading of Seton's sprain. Seton adds on the back of the letter: "A propos of a request to suggest a coat of arms for him. 1890." :: II-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
