Dunlop, W(illiam) B.: Edinburgh, Scotland to Monsignor (Robert Seton: Jersey City Heights, New Jersey), 1892 January 25

He thanks (Seton) for the consoling letter he wrote on the death of his mother. (Seton) too has has a severe trial in the loss of his aged aunt. England has lost its future king and (Henry) Cardinal Manning within a few hours of each other. Manning's death is a blow to Christendom. His name and (John) Cardinal Newman's are almost as much revered by Protestants as by Catholics. Dunlop hopes to shortly send (Seton) an illuminated catalogue of a heraldic exhibition held in Edingburgh. In renovating the old church at Prestanpans over which Doctor Struthers presided, the workmen have found some oak paneling dated 1603 which had originally formed the seat of the Hamiltons of Preston. Dunlop bought the panel to present to his kinsman Sir William Hamilton of Preston who live in England. There were many intermarriages between the Setons and the Hamiltons of Preston. Dunlop hopes to come to the States this summer and will look forward to renewing the friendship inaugurated when (Seton) was there some years ago.
