Not a photo... but hoping someone can restore this....
« on: Tuesday 17 October 17 13:46 BST (UK) »
Hope someone can help.   

This is a thank you blurb/advertisement for a tavern opened and run by my GGGG-Grandmother in 1834.   I want to print it onto photo paper, frame it and hang it on my 'ancestor wall' but the only version I could find is not very legible.   The first line is double-printed/smudged.    It should say:
"Mrs. Bowen:  Begs leave to return her sin-"

Can anyone clean it up?

I'm glad you could tell us what the top line was supposed to read as it was almost impossible to make out.
