Scope and Contents

Father James Doonan, S.J., visited Dorsey yesterday, he said he was pleased to hear that Hudson was coming to Washington. Doonan is Vice-President of Georgetown College and now is acting President during the absence of Father Patrick F. Healy, who is suffering ill health. If Hudson cannot stay with the Dorseys he can live at Georgetown. Dorsey thought that William Sadlier Company is defrauding her. Her contract was in New York and she neither has seen it for two years, nor could she get a satisfactory explanation from Sadliers why ten cents on each copy sold should fall so short of the sum she calculated they owed her. After placing the matter in a lawyer's hands, he found that Dorsey misread the contract and that she was to receive but four and half cents on the retail price. Sadlier is going through bankrupt cy, and once completed they will buy out Dorsey's interest in "Tangled Paths". Abbe Adrian Rouquette was a correspondent of hers for a time. Dorsey met him at the first General Council for the United States held at Baltimore when he was secretary to the Archbishop Anthon y Blanc of New Orleans. Rouquette was the guest of Father Louis Deluol, Provincial of the Society of Saint Sulpice in the United States. Dorsey sends Hudson a so called facsimile of the wedding ring of Our Blessed Lady. She has finished reading the Post-Biblical History of the Jews and found in disappointing. Dorsey has an article in manuscript form by a Father Lynch, S. j., entitled "The Bride of the Canticles", which portrays the Jewish people as the desolate bride. She requests Hudson send her granddaughter, Lee Mohun, who is at the Convent of St. Mary's of the Spring, Ohio, the copies of the Ave Maria containing Dorsey's story. :: X-2-i A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
