Dorsey sends a list of her contributions for the Ave Maria. She does this in the hope of getting a check. Doubtless, Hudson received Nellie's Ella Lorraine Dorsey letter written from Boston, after her trip to Halifax. Nellie did not see the Noonan Brothers, which made Dorsey glad to be rid of them, because they are Irish and she has lost faith in Irish Catholic publishers, who out Yankee, the Yankees. Nellie's interview with Mr. Osgood was satisfactory. He has no prejudice as to Catholic books that are not controversial. He sees no difficulty to Dorsey's books being a success and he thinks Dorsey's having received the Holy Father's benediction will be a strong factor in the business. Dorsey is not so certain, since so many others have received it, but Dorsey's was different since it was a special one sent by Archbishop James Gibbons . Hudson will be glad to hear how many kind words Dorsey received about the "Old House" and how many enthusiastic friends Nellie found of Dorsey's in Halifax, among them Monsignor M. Power, and Sir Edward Kenny and his family. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
