Scope and Contents

She was very much pleased to hear from Seton again. If he will look at the extract of the pedigree that she sent him, he will find the name, Ann (Seton), her grandmother, who was the only child of George Seton, eldest son of Charles Seton, son of George, fifth Earl of Winton. The ring Catherine has belonged to Margaret McKlear, wife of George Fifth Earl of Winton. She hopes Seton will be able to see that she and her baby are descended from the same Seton family as he; the Seton of Parbroath were a branch of the same tree. One of the greatest pleasures she has experienced since returning to England was meeting Seton in Bambro Churchyard. He is the only descendant of the Seton family she has ever met and really and truly a gentleman in every sense. She thanks him for the blessing he sent her babe and will try to bring her up to be an honor to her middle name. Catherine's mother joins in best wishes for a safe return.
