Dear Mr. Blathe,

I hope all is well with you. I am happy to hear that you have been learning about the markings on the wedding dress. I look forward to hearing more about it.

What to me is a frightening story is only a minor diversion for Mr. Bentley, of whom the story is told. Our Mr. Bentley had a run-in with some CRA members. He told me that he is certain of at least one of them being involved in my kidnapping. To be sure, I am glad that he was the one to deal with them rather than you or I. The violence that was met upon Mr. Bentley was furious. He ended up with several fractures and two bullet holes through his hat. Through all that, he got the better of them and put each and every one in the hospital.

He was able to pick the pocket of the one who was likely a part of the kidnapping. Care to hazard a guess if his drivers license is genuine? I think we will be finding out in the near future.

As always, watch your back,

U. McNutt
