Dorsey, Ella Loraine, Washington, District of Columbia, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey, 1886 November 8

Dorsey was so glad to receive Robert's note. She thought Senator John A. Logan too good a tactician to disregard Seton's protest and enough of a gentleman to acknowledge it. Seton did a service to the Church and the South. She will watch for the "Annual." Her mother and sister are suffering. Their maladies are aggravated by the very act of living. Her mother Anna Hansen Dorsey is working against tremendous odds at "Palms." Ella is halting on the edge of a journey to Mexico. Her cousin Madame Iturbide lives there and she and her son, Maximilian's heir once, offer many inducements. She hopes to manage it. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
