?irith this I am sending you the story as I have put it together 
from my notes, hut you must hear ih. mind that we who were there know little

an account in Germany of which I secured a copy, and in it she throws little or 
no light on the whole sitToation. She gives vent, to some speculations, bat that 
is all they amount to.
