Transcription Notes:
Cursive is blurred and very difficult to read. At least two people have now tried to figure the words out. If the third person can't, then I guess we mark it complete. It is so blurry. Miss E.L. Benton. I know she had sent letters asking about getting the rent paid - in earlier letters in 1868. Selma, Alabama, not Salem.
