The Anna Hanson Dorsey papers. [188-]-1973?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/104969206

Handwritten copy of a newspaper article about Anna Hanson (McKenney) Dorsey, a nineteenth century Catholic novelist, and of a letter written by her in 1882. The article, an extended genealogical and literary note by Gilberta S. Whittle, was published in an unidentified issue of the Philadelphia Sunday Times, presumably not long after Dorsey's death in 1896. The letter, addressed to a Josephine Ridue, contains Dorsey's comments on the history of the Loraine [sic] branch of the McKenney family, as well as brief remarks about her mother's family, the Hansons, who had originated in Sweden. The copies were made by the donor's mother, who, we can speculate, given her family name, may have been related to Dorsey.
