She asks to be paid for her last month's work on "Tangled Paths". She regrets that the length of this story caused Hudson so much embarrassment but she could not have ended it earlier because of the harm it would have done to her reputation and the displeasure it would have brought to the majority of the Ave Maria's subscribers, meaning, of course, the original readers. Dorsey feels that this explanation is necessary because of the kindness and courtesy with which Hudson has always treated her, and because she thinks that this was the last article she will ever write for the Ave Maria. :: X-2-d A.L.S. 2 pp. 12mo.
