Why did Dorsey's last letter pain Hudson? Dorsey has a letter copied from an autograph letter of Columbus for Commodore Gray of New York City. Gray presented the copy to his sister, Mrs. Harris, Dorsey's friend, who allowed Dorsey to copy it. Dorsey hopes Hudson will put something in the Ave Maria about the monument to be unveiled to the memory of Leonard Calvert by the State of Maryland. The opening prayer is to be offered by Cardinal Gibbons and the closing one by Bishop Paret of the Episcopal Church. On the face of the pedestal nothing is said about Calvert's being a Catholic. Dorsey cannot remember the year Father Armandus Charbonnel came to the Seminary in Baltimore to spend a year in the study of English. She thinks it was between 1840 and 1845. It was from Charbonnel that they first heard of Maria Alphonse Ratisbonne's conversion. Charbonnel received letters from his relatives the De la Ferronnays telling him all about it. It was through Madam Marie Charlotte de la Ferronnays that he was induced to put on the miraculous medal that caused his conversion. Ellen O'Donnelly! Eleanor C. Donnelly? and her two sisters spent a day with them a short time ago. Dorsey found them bright, clever and interesting. :: X-3-m A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
