 Item — Box: CHUD 15
Identifier: CHUD X-3-m

Scope and Contents

The letter Hudson sent told of the conversion of a bigoted young lady through the influence of Dorsey's book "The Student of Blenheim Forest." Bishop John Joseph Keane and Charles Warren Stoddard dined with them Wednesday evening. Dorsey is very much attracted by Stoddard. "Tom Boy" and "Two Ways" will be issued in the spring in one volume. Dorsey has taken out a copyright on "The Flemmings," the story Patrick O'Shea stole from her. and will bring out an author's corrected edition. A.R. Spofford tells her she has a perfect right. Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. wrote Dorsey that he had no recollection of having given O'Shea permission to publish "The Flemmings." Father Neal H. Gillespie, C.S.C. wrote that O'Shea had only once sent them a royalty of $25. Dorsey's belief is that Mother Angela Gillespie, C.S.C., who really ran the Ave Maria in the first years of its existence, originated the Notre Dame series and arranged the affair with O'Shea. Father Gillespie was only sub-editor. Nellie Ella Loraine Dorsey is gaining strength. The two boys are in Nicaragua. Dorsey Mohun was assigned to the Navy Department after his return from his four years' cruise in the Mediterranean. Admiral Amen and Signor Aniceto F. Menocal were his friends and he was appointed first auditor of the Transportation Division of the Nicaraguan Canal Company. Louis Mohun fulfills all Dorsey's hopes. He was with the surveying party. He was appointed post-master and chief of police at Greytown. Now he is station master. Edyth Mohun, the baby of the family, is being educated at St. Mary's, Ohio. :: X-3-m A.L.S. 14pp. 12mo. 15
