Loft, W(illia)m: New York, (New York) to Monsignor Robert Seton: (Jersey City Heights, New Jersey), 1893 March 31

He has moved to New York; to say he regrets leaving St. Joseph Parish is a mild way of expressing his feelings. He is 62 and leaving Jersey City at 7 A.M. and returning at 8 P.M. is more than his years will stand. He is now within 16 minutes of his home. He now attends Sacred Heart Church on the block; Father (Joseph) Mooney, rector. He has a devoted and loving family, especially the girls. The boys were somewhat wayward but are at present steady and industrious, all married but one and have good positions with Loft. 3 girls are yet unmarried. They propose to attend St. Joseph's on Easter and say goodbye to friends they have made during a residence of over 26 years there.
