Mrs. Pearl Mary Teresa (Richards) Craigie
(1867-1906) Daughter of John Morgan, R. born in Boston, Massachusetts. Most of her education was received in London and Paris, and from childhood she was a great reader and observer.

She wrote, under the pseudonym of "John Oliver Hobbes," a number of novels and dramas, distinguished by originality of subject and treatment, brightness of humour, and finish of style, among which may be mentioned Some Emotions and a Moral, The Gods, Some Mortals and Lord Wickenham (1895), The Herb Moon and The School for Saints (1897), and Robert Orange (1900), The Dream and The Business (1907). Her dramas include The Ambassador and The Bishop's Move.
