Are the believe me meanwhile & have been very busy your Lewdanny Booth trying to assist them, but without having any
with every wish success. I am very glad, therefore, I was just about on the point of sending you the letter, together with a letter simply affirming that innocence which I was unable to prove to you, when your letter arrived.

Allow me to remark, however, in passing, that you made a long and truly feminine leap to a conclusion, and from very small grounds; the grounds being so far as I am able to learn "a peculiar look" when I enquired after the welfare of the hinker on the morning you left.
