I can’t see the best woman God ever made go to her death without doing all that is possible to save her. I can’t explain things⁠—I can’t even try to explain them, but I know beyond all doubt that Miss Dunbar is innocent. You know the facts⁠—who doesn’t? It has been the gossip of the country. And never a voice raised for her! It’s the damned injustice of it all that makes me crazy. That woman has a heart that wouldn’t let her kill a fly. Well, I’ll come at eleven tomorrow and see if you can get some ray of light in the dark. Maybe I have a clue and don’t know it. Anyhow, all I know and all I have and all I am are for your use if only you can save her. If ever in your life you showed your powers, put them now into this case.

Yours faithfully,

J. Neil Gibson
