Dorsey, E(lla) L(oraine: Washington, District of Columbia) to Monsignor (Robert) Seton: (Jersey City Heights, New Jersey), 1887 September 23

Next to seeing Seton, her greatest pleasure is hearing from him. Her niece Meme Eastman is Charmed with Seton's compliment. Her friend Frances Febiger, the kinswoman of Father Harmen Denny, is entering the convent at M(oun)t DeSales this fall. Dorsey was greatly pleased with Father (T. Degen?) Degan and is still pursuing the stamps he wants. She has just returned from the mountains of Virginia. In less than 25 years the traces of burning, harrying, and destruction are obliterated. Seton forgot to send the abstract of the lecture promised. Her mother joins her in greetings. (P.S.) She is anxious to have a friend of hers meet Seton, Mrs. Julian James, a granddaughter of Mason the banker and widow of one of the Hudson River Jameses.
