Can anyone read what his says?

I have a picture of what I believe to be of my great grandmother taken in the Ukraine. There are words on the back of the picture and I hope someone can help me to read them. This picture would have been taken sometime in the 1890's I believe.

The handwriting in the middle that says Chwyl is our last name. . I believe at some point someone wrote that years later.

Thanks for any assistance.

Oops, that is the front of the picture. Here is the back with the writing. . .

Thanks

Hi Irene,

Unfortunately, that is all I have. The picture is actually "cut" like this. It is not my scanning. .I wish it was. Is there anything you can make out at all?

Sending this photo to my dear family - text above
Can't make out what is written on the bottom from the fragments that have been preserved
