Excerpt from The Story of Dorothy Jordan For the knowledge which I have been so fortunate as to obtain I am grateful to many friends. First and foremost to Mr. A. M. Broadley, who, possessing a large number of Mrs. Jordan's autograph letters and other documents, suggested the writing of this book, lent me all he had on the subject, and gave many of the illustrations. Mr. Broadley had already caused the registers of and around Waterford - the place usually assigned to her birth - to be searched, and as these gave no proof, pointed out to me the place where it might be - and was - found. It was he, also, who instituted inquiries at St. Cloud, the place of her death, and successfully discovered valuable evidence.
