Dorsey is sorry to learn that the manuscript failed to reach Hudson Saturday even though it was mailed in plenty of time. She is disappointed at Hudson not being able to do the edition. Dorsey wrote Thomas Noonan last week and anxiously awaits his answer regarding the publication of her book. Hudson's criticism of her stories is appreciated, and she thanks him for the opportunity to do the Christmas story. Anna Hanson Dorsey is finishing the last chapter of her story "Palms". They should like to see Charles Warren Stoddard when he comes to Washington. :: X-3-b A.L.S. 11pp. 12mo.
