Dorsey, Anna Hanson, Washington, D.C., to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1887 September 20

She sends a letter of Archbishop Francis Patrick Kenrick for the collection. Kenrick rated her literary efforts above their value. In her search she came across some letters of Father Adrien Rouquette which she sends. The only time she saw Rouquette was in the chapel of the Sulpician Seminary in Baltimore.Father Louis Regis Deluol, the Sulpician Superior, received her into the Church. Rouquette recently ordained accompanied the Bishop of New Orleans (Anthony Blanc) to the first Plenary Council at Baltimore as his theologian. Rouquette's countenance was singularly attractive, complexion swarthy, eyes black, abundant black silky hair. He looked far above commonplace mortals. No man has done more in providing splendid priests for the missions than Father Deluol.
