Dorsey, Anna Hanson, Washington, D. C., to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1880 February 11
Scope and Contents
Hudson will receive a package of manuscripts with which Mrs. Dorsey is quite well satisfied. The story should be complete with 4 or 5 more chapters. Hudson has given Mrs. Dorsey 32 pages in the Ave Maria which tides her over the payment of $100 and as she is in need of money she asks Hudson to forward her a remittance. Those who have vocations escape the anxieties that want of money brings. In May Archbishop Gibbons is going to take "Tangled Paths" and some other of her books to Rome with a letter from Bishop Keane to present to the Holy Father and ask his blessing on her labors of 35 years. Mrs. Dorsey does not want this mentioned until the book is presented. The sufferings of her daughter. Angela, are very distressing to her. Her patience and unselfishness during her illness seem to aggravate the mother's pain. She thanks Hudson for the notice in the "Catholic Universe". She thinks Hudson could have written a better notice of "Tangled Paths" but she is grateful to the man who did write it. She is not sorry that Mrs. Sarah Dorsey is dead as she was mistaken for her many times. Sarah was a fire eating Rebel. :: X-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 16 mo.
