Jevons, Thomas Seton: New Brighton, (New York) to (Monsignor) Robert (Seton: Jersey City, New Jersey), 1895 April 9

He would have answered (Seton)'s letter this morning but he has been at Cragdon all day. He will certainly take "pot-luck" with him and attend the Seton Circle afterwards. Cragdon has changed tremendously. There are two cheap cottages on the place besides the vicarage. Crookson wood has been cut down; the house has been disfigured by a coating of yellow paint. All around Eastchester is being opened up and $1000 or $2000 cottages built. Rex (Reginald Jevons), Ferdy (Ferdinand Talbot Roscoe Jevons) and Jevons are thinking of investing in a lot. He heard in a note from Uncle Will that Nel (?) Odell has had a stroke. Pat Jordan and Fanny are alive; she must be over a hundred. Jevons does not know the Berrymans. She was a Miss Whitney. The groom who is to marry Georgiana Berryman(?), is rather a personage in society. On Thursday Jevons dines with the Barclays and on the 23rd comes the St. George's dinner.
