How would you interpret ‘true enough’ here? When first I made this drive, the forests were leafless. I told Mrs. Brown about it. Father unexpectedly dead, and then this endless passage into a barren wilderness. I thought I had come to a nation of the interred. “Then you came to Mrs. Bittle’s,” she said, “and knew it for certain.” “Old Judd seemed mummified. True enough. But certainly not you or Miss McKellar.” How would you interpret ‘true enough’ in the last passage? Does it mean the fact that old Judd seemed mummified is true? Thanks!

It means it's pretty close to true. Or might as well be true.
