Scope and Contents

When her stories were being collected for the uniform edition, she objected to Nellie's Ella Lorraine Dorsey insistence that "The Heiress of Carrigmona" be included because some chapters were missing. They learned from Patrick Donahoe for whose paper she wrote the story around 1850, that all files of the Pilot were saved from the Boston fire of 1872, that ruined Donahoe. John Boyle O'Reilly, the present editor of the Pilot gave her permission to copy the parts of the story she lacked, which was done. Considering this, Dorsey does not think it unreasonable that she should claim exclusive rights to this book. She repurchased "Zoe's Daughter" from Donahoe for $100; Hudson agreed on behalf of the Ave Maria office to pay $50 for it and give her exclusive right to this book. John Murphy has sent Dorsey four half yearly statements together with $532, half of which she sends Hudson. She grieved over Kathleen O'Meara's death, who she first confused with Julia Kavanagh, a charming writer but inferior to O'Meara in nobleness and strength in her writing. Patrick V. Hickey's death was a loss to Catholic literature. She thinks Hickey made the Catholic Review the model Catholic newspaper of the country. She inquires if it was Hickey who had an adventure at a Dominican monastery in Ohio with an evil spirit. Dorsey recommends a book entitled "Face to Face With the Mexicans" by Mrs. Gooche, which she has been reading. It contains a fine portrait of the Emperor Iturbide. Dorsey's cousin Alice Greene married one of his sons, the portraits of her and son Augustin are given. :: X-3-i A.L.S. 14pp. 12mo. 11
