Scope and Contents

Seymour thanks Hudson for the payment for the sketches. The reasons that the sisters at St. Mary's give for refusing to hire Seymour are strange. As longs as her grandmother lives she is forced to remain in the United States. The ostracism she endures from her friends and relatives since becoming a Catholic is killing her. Seymour describes her cultural background which unfits her for the circles of society into which her life as a teacher brings her. She has been on the point of entering the Ursulines, but her confessor has held her back. Her faith is shaken and she is struggling with waves of doubt that nearly overwhelm her. Seymour feels that if she had been in a Catholic school or with intelligent Catholic priests to whom she could go with her doubts, her wanderings from the faith would not occur. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
