Scope and Contents Dorsey delayed answering Hudson's letter until her sickness had subsided enough to allow her to write a few pages of the manuscript to include with the letter. She appreciates the lack of back numbers of the Ave Maria as a defense by Hudson for not wanting to continue a serial story from one year into the next but still she cannot see how, in justice to her reputation as a writer and in fairness to the faithful readers of the story, she can prematurely terminate "Tangled Paths." The...
