Dorsey delayed writing until Hudson returned from Detroit. She comments at length on Charles Warren Stoddard' s book "A Troubled Heart". The Dorsey family has experienced much excitement lately, first Angie Dorsey was threatened with blindness, then Dorsey's grandson was appointed assistant paymaster to Paymaster John Furey and finally her granddaughter, Lee Mohun, at St. Mary's, Ohio, wrote that she was going to the novitiate at Lyons in June to prepare herself for Congo missions. Without the common sense of Mother Francis, Bishop John Watterson and a letter from Father Kelly, she would have gone. Like St. Peter, Dorsey wanted to cut off someone's ear for there is no need of going to the Congo for missionary work since there are 70,000 negroes in Washington and vicinity. Nell Ella Lorraine Dorsey is winning recognition, she submitted a short story to Harpers and received seventy-five dollars. Dorsey submits the first chapter of her story "Palms". She has also just about completed a story for young girls which she will submit shortly. Dorsey asks Hudson to advance her some money on it. :: X-2-o A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
