Halkett, Emily M.G., London, England, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey, 1890 February 28

How good of Seton to send her all those things. She is so glad that he went to the wedding; he was the only representative of the family. His descriptions amused them all. The young couple arrived at Liverpool and has gone to the country till Monday. She thanks Seton for telling her the story of his mother; it was very touching. She delights in the practice of their holy religion. Now that she is on night duty she can often go to Mass. She too, always wishes she had been born a Catholic. She thanks Seton for the portrait of his grandmother; she will be delighted to get the memoirs of the Setons. She wishes she could see Seton's brother and wife. Sister Lucas wishes to be remembered to Seton. They have lost all trace of Mrs. Anstruther Stewart. She and Sister Lucas expect to be going East at the end of the year. She does not see how they could pass New York; much as she would like it. She will be glad to hear about Seton from Hugh Halkett. Seton adds a note on the letter: The writer is a young convert and of the Seton blood. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 5pp. 16mo.
