Ill health has prevented Dorsey from answering Hudson's letter sooner. It was refreshing to hear of Mr. Collier's reputation for fair dealing, but she cannot see how a uniform edition of her stories can be brought out since she no longer controls the copyrights to her works, except for "Nora Brady's Vow" and "Tangled Paths". "The Sister of Charity", "May Brooke" and "Woodreve Manor" are out of print; the first two were brought out by Dunigan and Kircher, the latter by Hart. Dorsey would like to get "Beth's Promise" and "Adrift" in to book form. The poet-editor John Boyle O'Reilly who visited her recently took interest in the subject. She asks Hudson to write to O'Reilly and between the two of them formulate plans that would bring favorable results. Should she thank Patrick V. Hickey for his review? Archbishop James Gibbons visited her and brought the Holy Father, Leo XIII 's blessing. She inquires when Hudson intends to publish her story "Raphael". :: X-2-h A.L.S. 8pp. 16mo.
