I do not profess much ability in use of the pen, but I have had the cause for which I wrote at heart & hoped ever so humble an instrument as myself might do a little good. The story is only a

I hope if I succeed in having it published, it may be received not only by your people but by those for whom it was particularly intended & may do good.
I thank you very much for your kind reply to my last letter & hope you will not deem me officious.
Y[ou]rs most truly
Mary E. Kelly.
