"My dear Mr. & Mrs. Mottingley,

I am writing without any delay at all to say that I don't believe a word of it--about Jimmy, I mean of course. That is to say, I can believe that he got into trouble with the girl. I remember her of course, and a determined, bold-faced piece she was. I never liked her, and I see no reason to pretend that I did, just because she has got herself murdered. What I am quite sure of is that Jimmy didn't do it. As you know, he was one of my boys in Sunday School, and what I didn't know about them all wasn't worth knowing. Jimmy's faults were plain enough--I don't need to tell you about them. But that he would strike a young woman down and strangle her is a thing that I find quite impossible to believe. And impossible things don't happen. Now, will you be guided by me? I urge you very strongly to get in touch with Miss Silver, 15 Montague Mansions, S.W. You will remember the horrible affair of the Poisoned Caterpillars and my connection with it. It was Miss Silver who exposed the whole plot and saved an innocent family from a most distressing accusation. I can never say enough for the support and comfort she afforded me during a time of the deepest anxiety. Do get in touch with her. Show her this letter if you want to. I think she will remember me. She sent me a very kind message a little while ago by the Ridleys, whom you will remember. They met her in the Midlands, where she was staying with a niece.

Yours very sincerely

Kate Twisledon."
