Owing to the flighty condition of her brain and the unusual distunbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mis- taken in her inventory, but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that accept them as a sacred trust from one who has you will gone before.
