Scope and Contents Seton's letter of December 17 reached Dwight when he was ill. As Seton says, there was little new in the protest last year against the Education Bill. With regard to their city election, Dwight agrees with Seton that it was unfortunate that as Catholics they felt they must vote for Hugh O'Brien, because the other side has so allied itself with the Know Nothing ring that it was not fit to touch. O'Brien was as good a mayor as most and honest. Still a change would have been desirable. ...
