Jevons, Thomas Seton: Hamilton Park, N(ew) Y(ork) to Monsignor Robert (Seton: Jersey City, New Jersey), 1894 December 31

He wonders how Reverend (Arthur Wentworth Hamilton) Eaton got home. Who can Niddrie be who corresponds for the New York Freeman's Journal? (A note in Seton's hand: "Niddrie was Mgr. Seton"). Friday Jevons was at a euchre party at Mrs. Peter Jay's. Marguerite (Jevons) stayed overnight. Saturday he went with May and John Jay and Miss Barclay to Van Cortlandt's lake. May hurt her arm so badly that they walked to Bicknell's house and came home. Sunday he bolted up to Williams-bridge and walked to the Schieffelins. Edgar (Schieflin) Junior was there alone so they turned cooks and took a sleigh ride by Van Cortlandt West Farms and Westchester. Casser's lane is changed. The four corners are not those of yore and the cherry tree is gone. (Seton) is not to forget to come to the Strong's reception. Aunt Elize (Elizabeth Seton) is particularly well. Uncle Will(iam) Seton is going to take New Year's dinner with them. Jevon's father has just bought William Watson's new poems; Jevons thinks Watson will be the next poet laureate. Jevons' article is not in this month's Catholic World and he despairs of ever seeing it.
