We are now in Maine as you can see + as we were getting on the boat in New York a sailor pulled Bedelia out of our arms + let her go, we have done everything to get her back, but can't. We didn't know about it until the boat pulled out + then it was too late. Some woman told us that she saw her jump overboard but we didn't know we hadn't heard from it. We are broken hearted, love all, Adele."Context
