Hutton, Laurence, New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey, 1889 December 14

He has not acknowledged the receipt of Seton's note and volume of Essays before because he wanted to be able to say something of the book. He particularly enjoyed the chapter on the Cardinalate and Papal Elections. He congratulates Seton on his clearness and grace of style. He is pleased to think that Seton got pleasure out of his "Landmarks." He realizes that the Misses Berry are among his sins of omission. He knew they lived in Curzon Street but always associated them with Petersham where they are buried. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
