JQuery. Copy link attribute to a dynamic element within a div

I'm still learnig jQuery and I'm stuck trying to have each of the dynamically generated links the same URL as the previous static link within the Div. The code seems to apply the same URL (#1) to all the generated links, when on the second Div I need it to be #2.

CODE:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.sorter > div p').append('<a class="rdm">Read More</a>');
$('a.rdm').each(function() {
    var lnk = $('.sorter > div').find('a').attr('href');
    $(this).attr('href', '' + lnk);
});
});

HTML:

<div class="sorter">
<div><a href="#1">link A</a><p>some text </p></div><br /><br />
<div><a href="#2">link B</a><p>some text </p></div>
</div>

Many thanks for your help!

Using scoped selectors helps you deal with each div individually. Here's a jsfiddle with a working solution: http://jsfiddle.net/tuAUb/

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.sorter > div').each(function() {
        $('p', this).append('<a class="rdm">Read More</a>');
        var lnk = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
        $('a.rdm', this).attr('href', lnk);
    });
});

Oh i think you need this one: http://jsfiddle.net/GSgz5/

 var lnk = $(this).parent().siblings('a').attr('href'); //<--get href this way
 $(this).attr('href', lnk);

Try this. When you do the each I use the index of the anchor to generate it's href:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.sorter > div p').append('<a class="rdm">Read More</a>');
    $('a.rdm').each(function(i) {
        $(this).attr('href', '#' + (i + 1));
    });
});
