My Dear Ms. Dinsdale
It is not without some misgiving I
that I attempt to a_____p a line to you.  In the first
place the uncertainty that it will even meet you, and
furthermore the idea that has as often suggested its of
that you no longer remember us among your friends.
But I will not believe this much as we merit a 
fate so miserable.  I remember how kind and forgiving
you are, and will still ____ upon your ______.
A few days after Conf' ons' __________ call'd to see us.  Our first _____
were
for Ms. Dinsdale, and how were we startled and amased to 
be informed that you were already on your way
to England.  I think I never felt more ____ly the
sorrow he __i_g departed from you; then tere and ____ them
and as the only solace of which I could avail myself, I was 
about writing to you in the home of your MOther, whose
addrip I will recollect, when I was informed on
Sabbath evening that you were still in our own territory
and not 50 miles from us - and thus I seen you, thus I would
come to you and ask your forgiveneps for all our past 
____________ and make what little atonement may be in my power
