I'm writing a letter of introduction to a woman I've not met, at the suggestion of a personal and professional friend of hers, someone who I'n guessing is in her 50s or early 60s. She is, as far as I can gather, a somewhat bohemian personality, part of the literary world and currently working for a private relief agency.

Should I address the letter "Dear Mrs XXX" (she's been married, but is separated, though not divorced [newspapers put all sorts of thngs into interviews]) or "Dear Ms XXXX"? It seems to me that "Dear [her given name]" is right out, no matter how bohemian someone is or may have been.

Yes, these are the things I fret about. I don't want to goob up a first impression.
