Dorsey sent another package of copy on "Tangled Paths" which she hopes will be completed in two more chapters. Piracy of this story has been stopped since she copyrighted it in her own name. If the Catholic publication society cannot publish "Tangled Paths" in book form she would be very happy to sell the copyright to the Sadliers but she is not very interested in making an agreement giving her a percentage of the profits based on the number of sales, having tried that before and receiving nothing in return. Hudson's information concerning "The Flemmings" is correct but she would like to supplement it, thus showing conclusively how thorny her literary career has been. While "The Flemmings" was still being published in the Ave Maria she notified her business agent at Notre Dame and all others concerned of her intention to bring it out as a book for her own benefit upon its completion in the Ave Maria. At that time no objections were raised. But only when she began to negotiate with a business firm for its publication did she discover that Father Edward Sorin had given full permission to Patrick O'Shea, a Catholic publisher in New York, to bring it out. Two lawyers were fully prepared to defend her rights in court and she would have pressed her claims too if only O'Shea was involved since he had defrauded her once before, but the conviction that the responsibility for the whole matter would revert to the Holy Cross Congregation made her hesitant. Then she dropped the case entirely. Still another injustice has been perpetrated against her by Notre Dame. Several years ago Notre Dame sponsored a contest awarding a prize of $300 to the author of the best poem on the Blessed Virgin, the entries to be judged while the author still remained anonymous by a committee of learned and scholarly men. Even after her poem on the Annunciation had been publicly proclaimed as the winner it was decided to divide the prize between her and George Miles who had submitted a work which, in her opinion, had no special merit whatever. Despite these and many other injustices wraught against her she has courageously carried on, working with efficiency and determination for wages not even commensurate with a street cleaner's due. She regrets that she has not been able to forgive the publishers who have swindled her. But she has accepted the unalterable fact that she is helpless in demanding restitution from them. Their crimes will be left to God for punishment. P.S. Payment for January's work is asked in order to permit her to pay several bills due on February first. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 9 pp. 18 mo.
