"Dear Miss Rinder, Your letter has not yet arrived, but I will begin with various odds and ends." This is a condensed version of a letter that is no longer extant. The excisions are indicated by ellipses. The ribbon copy of this version is document .201183, record 116692.

There are two other transcriptions:
