Allen, Father Edward P. Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to Captain Henry Seton, Fort Spokane, Washington?, 1890 September 24

Mrs. Anne Foster Seton spoke to Allen about placing John Foster Seton at college for another year. Knowing how little interest John took in his books last year Allen does not think it would be well to place John in school again until he sees a little more of the world. John is a good boy and has formed no bad habits. A few days ago Allen told Mrs. Seton he thought it would be a good plan to put John in an architect's office; John has a talent for drawing and this business is an honorable and lucrative one at the present time. It ought not to be difficult to get a position in some of the offices in Baltimore. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
