Halkett, Emily M(ary) G(abrielle): Rome, (Italy) to (Monsignor Robert Seton: Jersey City Heights, New Jersey), 1894 January 27

She was glad to receive (Seton)'s letter and the Almanac. She will be glad to meet (Seton)'s cousin and his wife if they should call. It will not be long until (Seton) visits Rome. She will greet him in the habit of St. Benedict if (Seton) thinks her worthy. She remembers (Seton) telling her at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in the first joy of her conversion that she would have her difficulties. She came to Rome at the end of May and joined her abbess who is founding an English community of Benedictines here. A lady in Rome would like to know of an American paper that wants a Roman correspondent.(Seton) must stay longer in Rome next time than he did in 1889.
