your health as I was told yesterday by Pat O Neills son
inlaw that he was at your office some time back
and could not see you your health was so bad
I do not expect my dear mother to put past many days
now she is worn to the last state. I am now fifteen
weeks that I never was one Night from her bedside
and has to lift her like a child. I am sorry to
tell you that my son Patrick is at last left me

him dead rather than to see him with them
