Scope and Contents

After being misdirected, the check Hudson sent reached her. Dorsey thanks Hudson for his expression of appreciation of her efforts to stem the tide of sensational reading matter. Reading matter for Catholic youths should include the lessons of morality and religion blended with dramatic incidents. Since Mrs. Anna Sadlier laid down her pen, Dorsey has been the only writer of Catholic fiction. Because of Mother Angela Gillespie 's letter to Father Edward Sorin, which he sent to Dorsey with his postscript of endorsement, in which they held her story "Adrift" unfit for the Ave Maria, she will never again write for the Ave Maria, unless certain conditions are fulfilled. The reports that Dorsey owed $500, was sued for debts and has an income of $2000 per annum are false. Some one has her confused with two other women having a similar name that reside near Washington. She asks for advice on how she can set straight these false reports. Dorsey plans to write the editor of the Catholic Monitor and demand to know where he got these reports. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
